Automotive industry convinced BASF coolant protects engines from overheating BASF engine coolant fulfills the stringent demands of the automotive industry by preventing overheating and protecting cooling systems in summer as well as in winter.
Traffic jams and hot weather in the holiday season can cause vehicles to malfunction due to overheating, but breakdowns can easily be avoided by choosing the best engine coolant. “Many people only think about antifreeze in winter, but engines also need reliable coolants to prevent them from overheating in summer”, said Ralf Strauss, technical marketing manager at Performance Chemicals for Automotive and Oil Industry.

Information and Suppliers of Engine Coolants. In order to prevent the engine from overheating, the cooling system has to be capable of absorbing the heat generated in the engine and releasing it to the to environment, but this is more difficult during hot weather. The cylinder head in the vicinity of the exhaust valves are particularly prone to overheating. Motorists are therefore recommended to use a high-performance engine coolant. “BASF has been supplying Glysantin* for 77 years. It has an excellent reputation, and it has continually been modified and adapted to fulfil the stringent demands of automobile manufacturers”, said Ralf Strauss. Glysantin increases the boiling point of water to around 110 °C if it is diluted with water in the correct ratio of 1:1. The coolant can absorb more heat than water alone without boiling. Glysantin also prevents deposits from forming inside the radiator. Deposits can quickly block the fine cooling channels in the radiator and impair the release of heat to the ambient air, with the result that the engine can easily overheat during hot summer weather. The engine coolants supplied by BASF do more than just cooling the engine. Glysantin protects all the metals in the cooling circuit, such as cast iron, aluminium, steel and brass, from corrosion. The presence of water and the high temperatures inside the engine combine to create a very corrosive environment. Corrosion can cause deep holes to be formed in the metal, which can cause the water pump or the whole cooling system to fail and can even cause the engine to seize up. The corrosion inhibitors contained in Glysantin reliably prevent corrosion by reacting with the surfaces of the metals with which they come into contact in the cooling system to form a very thin layer that is extremely resistant to corrosion. Glysantin also prevents parts made from rubber and plastics, such as the header tank, overflow tank and radiator hoses, from being attacked by the coolant. The high quality of Glysantin has been regularly confirmed by specialists. DEKRA, the international testing and certification company, has awarded its “Highly recommended” seal of approval to Glysantin on several occasions since the award was first made in 1996. The automobile industry is also convinced by the high performance of Glysantin from BASF, because it has more approvals than any other coolant. Leading automobile manufacturers have confidence in Europe’s best selling engine coolant. Glysantin Alu Protect/G 30 has been specially developed by BASF as a premium product for use in all conventional engines and in modern, high-performance aluminium engines. “Glysantin meets the challenges posed by today’s and tomorrow’s
engine technology”, said Axel Kistenmacher, sales manager for Glysantin
in Europe. Glysantin has already been approved by Audi, BMW, DaimlerChrysler,
General Motors, MAN, MTU, Opel, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Porsche, Seat,
Skoda, VW and other motor manufacturers. Glysantin ensures that motorists
reliably reach their holiday destination, whatever the weather. BASF Performance Chemicals – always one idea ahead!
