WITHAM GROUP LAUNCHES NEW COMPREHENSIVE ANTIFREEZE & COOLANT RANGE
Witham Group, a leading UK lubricant manufacturer, is excited to announce the launch of its new, QualGuard range of antifreeze and coolants, adding the latest Si-OAT technology to two new products. Designed to meet the diverse needs of modern engines, the updated range now offers superior protection, extended lifespan, and enhanced performance to vehicles however old or new.
In addition, the innovative business has also launched a new winterisation anti-freeze, with biodegradable qualities ideal for static caravans, holiday lodges and boats.
Coolants are crucial for maintaining optimal engine temperature, preventing overheating, freezing, and corrosion. With engine technology constantly evolving, innovative coolant solutions are essential. Witham Group's new QualGuard range offers a variety of options to suit different vehicles and driving conditions.
What Is Changing in The Marketplace?
Antifreeze technology has evolved significantly in recent years, especially with advances like Si-OAT offer better corrosion protection and compatibility with modern engines and are formulated to last longer, sometimes up to 10 years or 300,000 miles depending on the type of vehicle and operating conditions. These latest coolants minimise the need for regular flushing and refilling, so reducing ongoing maintenance costs.
Innovations, driven by the need for more efficient thermal management in electric vehicles and environmental concerns, have created new more eco-friendly and efficient coolants. With the rise of electric and hybrid vehicle, coolant technology is also evolving to meet the specific needs of battery packs, electric motors and inverters. Dielectric coolants are being developed which are non-conductive fluids, ensuring that electric components will be protected from short circuit, whilst maintaining vital thermal regulation.
There is also a growing demand for more eco-friendly coolants due to increased regulatory pressure and concerns over the toxicity of traditional (ethylene glycol) anti-freezes. New formulations based on propylene glycol, which is less toxic and more biodegradable than traditional formulations are being adopted. Lower toxicity coolants are also being developed for industries like agriculture and forestry where environmental exposure risks are higher.
Selecting The Correct Coolant Is Crucial
As engines are made from a variety of metals and operate in diverse environments, selecting the right type of coolant is crucial for its performance and longevity. There are three main types: IAT (Inorganic Acid Technology), OAT (Organic Acid Technology), and Si-OAT (Silicate Organic Acid Technology). IAT is typically used in older vehicles, while OAT and Si-OAT are more common in modern engines, especially those with aluminium components. Si-OAT offers superior corrosion protection and extended lifespan, making it a preferred choice for many European car manufacturers. Using the wrong coolant can lead to compatibility issues, reduced performance, and premature wear.
Key Benefits of Witham Group's New Antifreeze and Coolant Range:
