What is non amine coolant?
That is, (A) a non-amine-based antifreeze for aluminum engines, It is an environmentally friendly, non-polluting antifreeze that does not contain amines and nitrite and does not produce carcinogenic nitrosamines.
What are the three types of antifreeze?
There are three main types of coolant that car companies use: Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), and Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT).
Is inorganic coolant better than organic coolant?
Inorganic coolant is better at limiting corrosion than organic coolant. Inorganic coolant works better with the metals used in older engines (steel and iron). Organic coolant works better with the metals used in newer engines (aluminum).
What antifreeze does not have silicate?
full carboxylate coolants
Because full carboxylate coolants have no silicates, they meet the stringent requirements of the Asian specifications. They also meet the European antifreeze requirements because they have no phosphates.
How do I know which antifreeze to use?
To make sure you’re choosing the right HOAT coolant, look at the brand name, rather than the liquid’s color. The HOAT formulation is a combination of the OAT formulation and the IAT formulation. HOAT uses both silicates and organic acid to protect your engine and combat corrosion.
What is the red antifreeze?
Red antifreeze is commercially known as Dexcool® that lasts longer than other types of antifreeze. This hybrid technology leads to the production of red antifreeze. When compared with green antifreeze and other older versions of antifreeze compounds, red antifreeze is more stable and it improves the water pump life.
Can you use regular coolant in a diesel engine?
You should NEVER use light duty coolant in a heavy duty engine, this will cause damage! Pitting/Cavitation Corrosion – Many heavy duty diesel engines use replaceable liners that fit down around each cylinder to aid in serviceability.
Is Super Tech antifreeze silicate free?
Registered. Yes that will work just fine. It’s silicate free.
What antifreeze is silicate and phosphate free?
OAT antifreeze has a replacement interval of 150,000 miles or generally 5-7 years, and depending on the make, is either silicate free, phosphate free, or both. OAT antifreeze began in the American market with GM’s introduction to Dexcool Orange in 1994.
