PMM showcases the latest antifreeze coolant range from Morris Lubricants.
All year-round protection
Up until recently the antifreeze coolant market has been dominated by traditional blue 2-year antifreezes using older inorganic chemistry and 5-year red antifreezes that employ newer organic acid technology (OAT). These older products have now fallen into the commodities bracket as the OEM and global qualifications that these products meet are limited and may even be outdated. Engine designers are now not only specifying increasingly tailored engine oil formulations but are extending their demands to antifreeze coolant formulations.
It is easy to fall into the trap of selecting blue or red antifreeze coolant based on past use, but choice should never be based on colour. The colour is purely cosmetic and plays no part in how the antifreeze coolant performs.
Product specifications and requirements
To accommodate these new requirements Morris Lubricants has released a new range of Ultralife Antifreeze Coolants:
Ultralife 1: An OAT based antifreeze coolant that is qualified for use in a wide range of vehicles across a variety of markets, including commercial vehicle and passenger car. This product provides high levels of rust and corrosion protection.
Ultralife 2: A silicate-free OAT antifreeze coolant that has been formulated primarily around the demands of Japanese, Korean and European car manufacturers where seal and gasket compatibility is essential to prevent the likelihood of deterioration and leaks.
Ultralife 3: This antifreeze coolant has been developed in line with German OEM requirements, with a silicate inhibitor for advanced aluminium protection and phosphate to buffer the pH and keep the product slightly alkaline. This OAT antifreeze coolant covers engines used in the commercial vehicle, off-highway and passenger car markets.
Ultralife 4: A robust and versatile antifreeze coolant spanning multiple vehicle sectors, this coolant has long established credentials due to its tried and tested OAT inhibitor chemistry.
