ANTIFREEZE AND COOLANTS

Antifreeze and coolants

Truck and bus engines run hotter than before causing more stress on their engine cooling systems. From vehicle to vehicle the materials that make up the cooling systems are different. If the antifreeze/coolant within the system breaks down this can cause a leak or damage to the engine.
.
Castrol’s antifreeze/coolant range includes the approved and latest technology products offering outstanding protection and longer engine life, maintaining performance, even under extreme conditions.

Radicool nf

Radicool nf

(Replaces antifreeze nf)

 

An antifreeze concentrate coolant formulated using hybrid technology for the modern performance engines of cars and trucks.

 

Castrol Radicool NF has been developed to meet the growing demand from engine and vehicle manufacturers for a higher performance coolant that minimises environmental impact. It provides excellent protection against corrosion, and because it contains no phosphate, the problems of deposits in some modern performance engines are eliminated.

 

This coolant should be used at concentrations of between 33 % and 50% dilution with purified water to give optimum corrosion protection and freezing protection between -18°C and -36 °C.

 

Features & benefits

 

  • Protects for up to 3 years
  • Excellent low temperature protection.
  • Provides excellent protection against corrosion.
  • Efficient lubrication of water pumps.
  • Compatible with conventional seal and hose materials used in engine cooling systems.
  • Contains bittering agent.
  • Has many OEM approvals.

Radicool p-oat

Castrol radicool p-oat

Castrol Radicool P-OAT is a nitrite, amine, borate and silicate free antifreeze coolant for vehicles requiring Phosphated Organic Additive Technology (P-OAT). Aqueous solutions of Castrol Radicool P-OAT act as both antifreeze and coolant and offers excellent protection for the metals used in engine radiator systems, cylinder block heads, water pumps and heat exchangers. 

 

Features & benefits

 

  • Excellent corrosion protection to protect metals used in cooling systems.
  • Long life usage – resulting from stable, non-depleting organic inhibitors.
  • Superior cavitation protection prevents pitting wear of the cooling system.
  • Improved heat transfer through removal of silicates in the formulation.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications, including automotive and heavy-duty

 

Industry specifications

 

  • ASTM D3306(I)
  • ASTM D6210
  • JASO JIS K2234
  • Suitable for use in vehicles from Japanese and Korean manufacturers
  • Suitable for use where a coolant meeting Ford WSS-M97B57-A1 is required
Premium cool plus

Premium cool plus

Low silicate ethylene glycol based engine coolant – phosphate and amine free formulation providing extended service life protection for lead solder, aluminium, yellow metal and ferrous alloys.

 

For US, European and Japanese turbocharged and naturally aspirated diesel engines, particularly wet liner engines, operating in on-highway and off-road environments and arduous city stop- start driving conditions.

 

Not generally recommended for petrol engines. For Mercedes Benz, use Radicool NF.

 

Features & benefits

 

  • 1,000,000km/8000hrs/4 years (whichever occurs first) service life in heavy duty diesel engines.
  • Fully conforms to the warranty requirements of most major HD diesel engine OEM’s.
  • Covers the needs of a wide range of engines meaning less coolants need to be stocked, assists rationalisation.
  • Guaranteed performance in the widest range of diesel engines.
  • Compatible with most commercial SCA’s.
