Because we care for the environment

In sustainable development, the natural environment is its basis, the economy is its tool and the welfare of society constitutes its goal.

Out of concern for the environment and natural resources, we apply sustainable business practices reducing the use of non-renewable resources and contributing to the reduction of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

Waste management is an important aspect of environmental protection. All of us are aware that plastic should not end up in the environment. Recycling makes it possible to reuse raw materials, which is highly beneficial to the environment and natural resources. Our standard packaging is gradually being replaced with pouches using 49% less plastic for the same capacity.

We are also introducing packaging made of recycled plastic.

Antifreezes for heavy duty (HD) engines

Heavy duty engines are subject to much higher pressures than passenger car engines. They often operate at the maximum rated power range and attain high mileage. Besides, materials used in the construction of the cooling system of heavy duty engines differ from those used in passenger cars. Because of heavy loads, the cooling system is more prone to cavitation corrosion.

What is cavitation corrosion?

Heavy duty engines are particularly susceptible to this type of corrosion. It is caused by sudden increase of the fluid flow rate in the cooling system. Shock waves generated there can damage or even destroy any material.

What antifreeze will properly protect the HD engine?

An inappropriate antifreeze may lead to serious failures. More than 40% of HD engine repair costs are related to the cooling system.

To adequately protect the cooling system of engines operating in extreme conditions, avoid downtime and reduce operating costs, it is recommended to choose an antifreeze that meets the ASTM D 6210 (heavy duty) standard for diesel engines and heavy duty machinery. Kemetyl offers high quality heavy duty (HD) antifreezes meeting the above mentioned standard: Kemetyl GlycoCool Premium Antifreeze 774 HD and Kemetyl GlycoCool Longlife Premium Antifreeze 774 D-F, G12/G12+ type.

What makes these antifreezes different?

These antifreezes contain a special package of corrosion inhibitors necessary to prevent cavitation corrosion. As a result, they provide better protection of metals against point corrosion pits as well as better protection of aluminum and solder alloys. They also prevent the precipitation of silica gel and other deposits on metal alloys. This, in turn, prevents failures and reduces pump leak rates.
