Heavy Duty Truck "Pre-Charged" Green Antifreeze
MAXSAFE’s Green Heavy Duty Truck Antifreeze uses Penray’s 2792 advanced
“fully charged, fully—formulated” antifreeze inhibitor package that features
a low-silicate, phosphate-free formula to provide trouble-free service
in any vehicle. Antifreeze made with virgin glycol and Penray 2792 may
be used in heavy duty trucks with wet sleeve technology as well as in any
liquid-cooled engine.
A concentrated formula, Penray 2792 is added to pure ethylene glycol at
2.2 vol% to achieve the product claims. Finished product will meet both
ASTM heavy-duty and automotive specifications and may be used in diesel
engines without a pre-charge of additional supplemental coolant additives.
(Normal SCA maintenance is required).
Understanding Heavy Duty Antifreeze
There are essentially 3 types of antifreeze:
- Automotive
- For use in automotive applications — not for heavy-duty diesel truck or “wet sleeve” applications.
- Heavy Duty
- Can be used as a base for heavy-duty diesel applications as long as the proper Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA's) are added to the antifreeze.
- Heavy Duty antifreeze may state that it is suitable for heavy duty applications, but you need to read the fine print, as it will not adequately protect a “wet-sleeved” engine from cavitation and pitting unless the appropriate SCA's are added to the antifreeze. Be sure to read the label of the product you are using in your trucks.
- Heavy Duty Pre-charged
- “Pre-Charged” or “fully formulated” Heavy Duty antifreeze is ready for use and has the formulation (Supplemental Coolant Additives – SCA’s) to adequately protect “wet-sleeved” OEM diesel engines.
- If you have a mixed fleet, you should know that heavy-duty and pre-charged heavy-duty antifreeze is also compatible for use in automotive applications.
- All of MAXSAFE’S Heavy Duty Antifreeze is “fully formulated / pre-charged”.
