Quick Coolant Summary Points 01) DO NOT MIX COOLANTS OR INHIBITORS. Never mix coolants or corrosion inhibitors, a mixture of incompatible coolants can induce radiator fouling and severe over heating. Secondly a mixture of coolants or inhibitors can actually reduce the effectiveness of the corrosion protection afforded to the vehicle. 02) FOAMING COOLANTS CAUSE CAVITATION EROSION A coolant that foams can induce accelerated cavitation erosion of the water pump and water pump backing plates. If a product has a tendency to foam you can usually pick it by shaking the bottle and counting 5 seconds, if the foam has broken and the fluid is returned to normal this product probably won’t foam in the cooling system, if the foam has not broken after 5 seconds it might pay to find another product. 03) NEVER UNDERTREAT A COOLING SYSTEM WITH A COOLANT OR INHIBITOR. If you do not use the recommended dose ratio of a coolant or inhibitor you can actually accelerate corrosion to above that of plain water. Do it right or don’t do it at all. 04) USED COOLANTS ARE NOT ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. Any cooling fluid that circulates in an automotive cooling system will pick up heavy metals. The disposal of a fluid containing heavy metal will contravene the E.P.A. regulations. Do not be confused by certain coolant brands that claim they are environmentally friendly, we believe these products are referring to the new product in the bottle and has no relevance after the coolant has been used. 05) USE ONLY THE BEST QUALITY WATER AVAILABLE. When mixing Anti Freeze / Anti-Boil or any corrosion inhibitor concentrate use the best quality water available as this will ensure the extended life of the product. The preferred water is demineralised. Do not use spring or bore water. 06) CHECK FOR THE PRESENCE OF STRAY CURRENT IN THE COOLANT. If a vehicle is suffering from repeated and accelerated corrosion, especially in Aluminium radiators always remember to check for the presence of stray current. An Anolag multi-meter is all that is required for preliminary testing. 07) REAL COOLANT CONTAINS ETHYLENE GLYCOL. Based on the vehicle manufacturers recommendations world wide all coolants classed as suitable for use in their vehicles will have an Ethyelene or Propylene Glycol base. Failure to use a Glycol based coolant in newer vehicles could void warrantee should the cooling system fail. <strong>08</strong>) TECTALOY IS NATIONALLY AVAILABLE. National availability is very important to your customer, as you realize coolants can not be mixed so it’s important that you use a product your customer can purchase Australia wide. If your customer cannot purchase top up coolant out of the state they may have to drain and replace the entire cooling system. 09) ALWAYS USE COOLANT SERVICE STICKERS. Use the service stickers supplied by the coolant manufaturers to avoid coolant type confusion when top up coolant is required. *The above data/information is provided by and remains the intellectual property of Tectaloy.
