AC · Antifreeze & Coolants
Select coolant by chemistry, system and supply form.
Define the base fluid, inhibitor technology, concentration or ready-to-use form, equipment requirement and operating temperature before product confirmation.

Overview
Keep chemistry, application and dilution distinct.
Coolant colour alone is not a technical selection criterion. Base fluid, inhibitor technology, concentration and the equipment manufacturer's requirement must be reviewed together before a product is chosen or mixed.
State the current coolant or required specification, system materials, minimum operating temperature, make-up water conditions where relevant, concentrate or ready-to-use preference, volume and destination. The TDS and SDS remain the product-level sources for use and handling information.
How the range is organised
Assemble the requirement across three dimensions.
Eight sub-ranges across three independent dimensions. The taxonomy names the dimensions and the technologies within them; it names no individual product designations, so none are printed.
This is how the range is organised. The products currently held in the catalogue are listed above.
Base fluid02
01
MEG base
One of the two base fluids the range is organised by.
02
MPG base
One of the two base fluids the range is organised by.
Inhibitor technology05
03
IAT inhibitor
One of the inhibitor technologies the range publishes.
04
OAT inhibitor
One of the inhibitor technologies the range publishes.
05
HOAT inhibitor
One of the inhibitor technologies the range publishes.
06
Si-OAT inhibitor
One of the inhibitor technologies the range publishes.
07
NAP-free
Published alongside the inhibitor technologies, as the range lists it.
Supply form01
08
Concentrate or ready-to-use
The state the product is supplied in. It cuts across both dimensions above rather than sitting inside either.
Key specifications
Review coolant properties as a complete system.
Freezing protection, boiling behaviour, reserve alkalinity, pH, density and appearance are meaningful only with the product concentration, method and equipment requirement stated.
Typical values are not published on this page. They are issued in the Technical Data Sheet, which needs no form.
- 01Freeze point°C
- 02Reserve alkalinity
- 03Relative density
- 04Water content%
- 05Copper corrosion
Test methods for this axis are pending technical review.
How values are confirmed
Use the property set above to define the enquiry. Exact typical values and test methods are issued in the reviewed TDS for the selected grade; the supplied batch is then identified against its COA.
Selecting a coolant
Three decisions, in order.
This category has no downstream: a coolant is the finished product, not an input to another one. What it has instead is a selection path — three independent decisions, each narrowing the last, and every option below is a sub-range published in the range above.
01
Base fluid
The glycol the coolant is built on. It is the first decision because it constrains the rest.
02
Inhibitor technology
The inhibitor package, plus the composition constraint the range publishes beside the technologies.
03
Supply form
Whether the product ships as concentrate or ready-to-use. A supply decision, settled with the quotation.
Quality & testing
Verify concentration, condition and batch evidence.
Quality control runs at the same three stages as every category, and a coolant batch is qualified against the same property axis it is later described on.
- 01
Incoming
Material is tested on arrival, before it enters the process.
- 02
In-process
Testing runs during processing rather than only at the end of it.
- 03
Outgoing
The batch is tested again before release, and the result is the Certificate of Analysis issued with it.
Batch qualification06
- Freeze point
- Reserve alkalinity
- Relative density
- Water content
- Copper corrosion
- Elemental analysis
Which of these are run in-house and which are run at a partner laboratory is stated on Quality & Certifications, not here. Quality & Certifications
Packaging & supply
Confirm concentrate or ready-to-use before quoting.
The formats this category is supplied in, and the commercial terms it is quoted against.
- Bulk
- Flexitank
- Drums
- IBC
- Pails & retail packs
- Customized
Minimum quantity, lead time and payment terms are established against a specific product, dilution state, format and destination — they are part of the quotation, not a published table.
Quoted against04
- 01EXW
- 02FOB
- 03CFR
- 04CIF
Increasing seller responsibility, top to bottom. Which one applies is settled in the quotation, not here.
Documentation
Use product guidance before mixing or filling.
Three documents are issued for this category. Two describe the product, one describes the batch you receive — and none of the three sits behind a form.

- COACertificate of AnalysisPer batch — the result of outgoing testingNo form

Questions
Asked before an enquiry.
Find answers to common questions before discussing your requirements with our team.
Can I read the specifications before making an enquiry?
Yes. Technical and Safety Data Sheets are published openly. Only the full company and product catalogues are released against a short qualifying form.
Is a Certificate of Analysis issued for every batch?
Yes. The COA records the outgoing test result for the batch supplied, not a typical value for the product.
Is the range supplied as concentrate or ready-to-use?
Both are in this category's published taxonomy. Which applies is a supply decision taken with the quotation rather than a separate range.
Which inhibitor technologies are published?
IAT, OAT, HOAT and Si-OAT, together with NAP-free as a composition constraint. They are listed in full in the range above.
Can a coolant be supplied to a specification we provide?
Formulation to a customer brief is a route of its own rather than a variant of a published product.
Next step
Can't find exactly what you need?
The range above is what we publish. Formulation to a customer brief is a route of its own, and a sample is the first stage of it.
