Corrosion inhibitors in cooling systems: Glysacorr® type

Glysacorr® is an inhibitor concentrate which is added to the cooling water of internal combustion engines in cases in which the coolant does not need to be protected from freezing. Its offers excellent protection against cavitations and corrosion to all metals and alloys that are used in cooling systems. This corrosion inhibitor is especially appropriate for the use in heavy-duty engines such as those used in trucks, on ships and locomotives.
    
For protection of engines against corrosion, overheating and frost, BTC offers Glysantin® to the automotive industry.

Engine coolant concentrates: Glysantin® type

Glysantin® types are engine coolant concentrates based on ethylene glycol for water cooled engines. Available are products of all inhibitor technologies. The Glysantin® brand is now one of the world's most frequently-used products for initial filling. The ethylene glycol coolant concentrate is continuously adapted to the latest requirements of the leading car manufacturers, to protect the engine of any car against corrosion, overheating and frost.   

Rust protection

Glysantin® cooling concentrate protects all the materials used in cooling systems, such as gray cast iron, cast aluminium, steel and brass, against corrosion. After all, if there is no protection, water and high temperatures produce ideal conditions for corrosion in the cooling system.

Overheating protection

In the summer, Glysantin® cooling concentrate protects against breakdowns. Ethylene glycol, the main component of Glysantin®, not only lowers the freezing point of water, but also raises its boiling point, thereby preventing the radiator from boiling over. In addition, Glysantin® also prevents deposits from forming inside the radiator. Deposits could quickly block the fine cooling channels in the radiator and severely impair the release of heat to the ambient air, with the result that the engine could easily overheat during hot summer weather.

Frost protection

The ethylene glycol based cooling concentrate protects the cooling liquid from freezing. In the cold season, there is the risk of the water in a vehicle’s cooling system freezing in winter temperatures. In the worst case, the expanding ice could crack the radiator and engine block.

Transfer fluids and coolants: Glythermin® types
The Glythermin types are used in high technical equipments, e.g. solar heating equipments. They perform very well as heat-transfer-fluids and coolants, and they protect the equipment from frost and corrosion. They have excellent compatibility with the materials used in air conditioning and solar heating equipment, and they remain mobile at very low temperatures. They prevent scale from forming in heating and cooling circuits.

Hydraulic fluids: Hydraulan® types 
Brake fluids are used for hydraulic power transmission from brake pedal to wheel brake and are a vitally important component of brake systems. Brake fluids are formulated from glycol ethers, polyalkylene glycols and a corrosion inhibitor package. They also have to be capable of performing perfectly in modern ABS braking systems. Because they are so important to safety, brake fluids have to fulfil the highest standards of quality and reliability. The BASF Hydraulan types conform to the SAE J 1703, SAE J 1704 and FMVSS 116 - DOT 4 specifications. They are miscible with other brake fluids formulated to the same specifications. Many automobile manufacturers have approved BASF as an OEM supplier of brake fluid.

Fuel additives: Kerobit® types and Kerocom® PIBSI
Our chemical additives improve fuel quality and increase fuel economy for the car driver. Throughout its life, the engine runs faultlessly, economically and with lower emissions. Our additized fuels meet the automotive industry’s specifications throughout the world and conform to international legal requirements.
Kerobit® types are antioxidants for gasoline and aviation fuels. These additives prevent hydrocarbons from being oxidized and forming a high molecular weight sediment which is deposited as gum. They improve the stability of the fuel.
Kerocom® PIBSI is a dispersant/detergent additive for the use in multifunctional diesel performance packages as well as stabilizer packages for middle distillates.
