Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Long Life Coolant Red is an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze/coolant concentrate incorporating an
advanced Organic Acid Technology (OATS) formula with virtually non-depleting organic acid corrosion
inhibitors. The product is dyed a distinctive red colour for ease of identification.
It is silicate-free for improved pump life and contains no environmentally harmful nitrates, borates,
phosphates, amines or nitrites.
Long Life Coolant Red is compatible with conventional coolants and can be used for top-up of
conventional coolants. If the product is to be mixed with some heavy duty diesel coolants, the user must
continue to add SCAs (Supplementary Coolant Additives) for heavy-duty service until the next coolant
change-out.
Long Life Coolant Red satisfies or exceeds many major standards and is recommended for major
European, Japanese and US car and heavy-duty diesel engines.
Long Life Coolant Red can be added directly to the cooling system as a top-up adjustment of the freeze
point of the cooling water.
APPLICATION
Long Life Coolant Red is recommended for use in aluminium alloy petrol powered automotive engines,
and in heavy duty diesel and natural gas mobile and stationary engines.
Provided the correct dosage of Long Life Coolant Red is maintained, flush and change the passenger
car/light duty commercial vehicle cooling system contents every 5 years or 250,000 km. For heavy-duty
diesel engines, Long Life Coolant Red more than doubles the life of conventional coolants to 500,000
km / 6,000 hours / 5 years; at the same time providing excellent protection against cylinder liner cavitation
corrosion/erosion.

* With a 103 kPa radiator pressure cap
Long Life Coolant Red antifreeze/coolant must not be used neat to the engine cooling system but diluted
up to minimum 33% or maximum 67% with good quality water. The dosage depends on the level of frost
protection required and/or the manufacturer’s recommendation. For optimum year round protection
against freezing, boiling and corrosion, 50% Long Life Coolant Red coolant solution is recommended.
While Long Life Coolant Red is compatible with hard water, the use of soft or deionised water is
preferable to minimize scale deposits.
Do not mix Long Life Coolant Red coolant with other coolant products as the extended life benefits will
be reduced. If mixed with more than 15% of conventional coolant, treat the cooling system as if it
contains the conventional coolant or drain and flush the system and refill with Long Life Coolant Red.
CHANGE-OVER
Always start off with a clean cooling system by using a radiator flush or similar commercial cleaner at the
change-over (especially if previously using conventional coolants). After draining the cleaner, flush
thoroughly with clean water.
Inspect the cooling system. Make necessary repairs and tighten all hose connections.
The coolant should be changed out at overhaul or 5 years. Always dispose of the used coolant in
accordance with local, state and federal guidelines.
Because Long Life Coolant Red is silicate-free, the product can be stored for up to 8 years with no
problem.
BENEFITS
Advantages of using Long Life Coolant Red include:
Can be used in most OEM diesel, petrol and natural gas engines allowing one coolant to be
inventoried. The product lasts up to 3 times as long as conventional coolants.
Reduces engine coolant cost by up to 60% over conventional coolants.
Service life of up to 1,000,000 kms for truck engines, and up to 12,000 hours or 6 years (whichever
comes first) for machine/commercial engines (when topped up with a once only coolant extender at
the end of its initial service life).
For automotive engines, drain at 250,000 km or 5 years, whichever comes first.
Contains no silicates or environmentally harmful borates, phosphates, amines or nitrates.
Hard water deposits and scale from silicate drop out in the cooling system are practically eliminated.
The low level of total dissolved solids improves water pump seal life and prevents gel formation.
Excellent heat transfer and superior aluminium protection at high operating temperatures.
The combination of organic carboxylate inhibitors offers excellent protection against cast iron
cylinder liner and block pitting and cavitation corrosion-erosion.
