Havoline Antifreeze Coolant


Description

Havoline AntiFreeze Coolant (Havoline AFC)  - mixed with the appropriate amount of water - is used as a cooling and heat transferring fluid in combustion engines. The heat of the internal combustion is transferred via the fluid to the radiator where the mixture is cooled by means of air flow. Formulated with powerful and efficient additives, Havoline AFC is recommended for use in cooling systems of all types of liquid cooled automotive and industrial internal combustion engines. Exempt from potentially harmful additives such as nitrites, amines and phosphates, the coolant also contributes to a safer environment. Havoline AFC has been approved by a large number of passenger car and heavy duty Original Equipment Manufacturers.

Havoline AFC offers the following benefits to the user :

Efficient and long lasting 
Corrosion protection combination of silicate and carboxylate inhibitor technology
Maintenance-free protection ethylene glycol based fluid
Against freezing and boiling
Extended coolant life low depletion rates of the corrosion inhibitor package 
Excellent seal compatibility no adverse effects on rubber hoses and gasket materials

Havoline AFC has been developed to meet the demanding requirements of the most important car and truck manufacturers. 

Application

Havoline AFC  provides year-round frost and corrosion protection. To ensure good corrosion protection it is recommended to use at least 33 vol. % of Havoline AFC in the coolant solution. This provides frost protection to -20°C. Typical mixtures in Northern Europe are 50/50 AFC/Water, offering frost protection down to -40°C. Mixtures with more than 70 vol. % of Havoline AFC in water are not recommended.

The maximum frost protection (about -69°C) is obtained at 68 vol. % Havoline AFC.. The use of soft water is preferred for dilution. Though, lab testing has shown that acceptable corrosion results are still obtained with water of 20°dH, containing up to 50 ppm chlorides and 50 ppm sulphates. Havoline AFC may be used with confidence in engines manufactured from cast iron, aluminium or combinations of the two metals, and in cooling systems made of aluminium or copper alloys.

Compatibility and Mixability

Havoline AFC is compatible with most other coolants based on ethylene glycol. Exclusive use of Havoline AFC is recommended for optimal corrosion protection and sludge control. This coolant is compatible with European hard tap waters. It satisfies the most stringent requirements for hard water stability.

Approvals by OEM's

Havoline AFC has been approved by most engine manufacturers and an up-to-date approvals list is available separately. Even though some OEM's have not yet given a formal approval Havoline AFC is suitable for use as antifreeze / coolant in any combustion engine .

Availability

Havoline AFC is available in bulk and in various packages in different colours and with or without a bittering agent. Please contact your local Arteco Area Sales Manager for advice on the availability of packages, dilution’s and colours.

Havoline Premixed Antifreeze Coolant is the final mixture of coolant & water filled in the radiator.
Havoline Antifreeze Base is a MEG-based superconcentrate of Havoline AFC.

Storage Requirements

The product should be stored at ambient temperatures and periods of exposure to temperatures above 35°C should be minimized. Havoline AFC can be stored for minimum 5 years in unopened containers without any effect on the product quality or performance. It is strongly recommended to use new containers and not recycled ones. As with any antifreeze coolant, the use of galvanised steel is not recommended for pipes or any other part of the storage/mixing installation.
The transport is not regulated. Labeling as for any MEG based coolant is required: Xn: R 22 (Harmful if swallowed) and S 2 (Keep out of reach of children).

Toxicity & Safety
