Asian OEMs
Phosphate free, meeting some basic chemistry requirements of European and some
North American OEMs
Excellent high temperature aluminum protection
Can provide wet sleeve liner cavitation protection without the use of nitrite
Extended life in both light and heavy duty applications
Lifespan: Automotive - Up to 5 years or 250,000 km (150,000 miles); Heavy Duty - Up
to 6 years or 960,000 km (600,000 miles)
OAT is an acronym for Organic Acid (Additive) Technology which describes the type of
materials responsible for the corrosion protection offered by a coolant of this type. OATs are
Long Life Coolants (LLC), based on minimally depleting Carboxylate Technology. This
technology provides superior protection to all components of the cooling system including
those exotic materials like aluminum and magnesium found in the modern day engine.
Unlike Traditional Coolants the need for regular additions of Supplemental Coolant Additives
(SCAs) at scheduled service intervals is no longer required, providing a true Long Life product
which can provide significant cost savings. In some heavy duty diesel applications you may
see a reference to a Coolant Extender. A Coolant Extender can be used with an OAT
coolant to top-up certain additives at the products half life which is typically around 480,000
kms. In general OAT based corrosion inhbitors are recognized for their non-toxic properties
making them readily biodegradable, addressing any environmental and occupational health &
safety issues.
First generation OATs were specific to automotive applications. This was quickly followed by
use in heavy duty diesel applications where the OAT was used as is (as in Asia and Europe) or
in North America where the OAT was used along with nitrite or nitrite and molybdate to
ensure adequate wet sleeve liner cavitation protection.
As a result of work initiated by John Deere there is now an industry specification for
determining the liner cavitation properties of Engine Coolant. An ASTM Standard, D7583 is
now available which validates the liner cavitation of any engine coolant even those that do
not contain nitrite or nitrite and molybdate. Recently, ASTM D15 modified ASTM D6210 to
include this liner cavitation test. A review of ASTM D6210-10 will show that nitrite free OAT
engine coolants which pass ASTM D7583 are OK for use in heavy duty diesel applications.












QU SON AZOLES?
AZOL
En qumica, un azol es un compuesto
heterocclico aromtico de estructura similar al 1,3-
ciclopentadieno, pero en el que algunos de los tomos de
carbono son sustituidos por tomos de nitrgeno u otro
elemento distinto del carbono.
Segn el nmero y tipo de heterotomos, los azoles se
clasifican en:
azol (un tomo de nitrgeno): pirrol
diazol (dos tomos de nitrgeno): pirazol, imidazol
triazol (tres tomos de nitrgeno)
tetrazol (cuatro tomos de nitrgeno)
pentazol (cinco tomos de nitrgeno)
oxol o furano (un oxgeno)
oxazol e isoxazol (un nitrgeno y un oxgeno)
tiazol e isotiazol (un nitrgeno y un azufre)
dioxol (dos oxgenos)
