- Product Features
- ASCOTRAN® RCX is a water-based, ultra high performance corrosion inhibitor concentrate, designed to prepare high quality engine coolant/antifreeze concentrates through the addition of monoethylene or propylene glycol.
- This additive package is based on Organic Acid Technology (OAT), to produce finished antifreeze which is free from any nitrite, amine, phosphate, borax, silicate and 2-Ethylhexanoate.
- Offers extended, low maintenance corrosion protection.
- Offers reliable protection to a wide range of metals including aluminum, copper, iron and solder alloys.
- High performing, even with vulnerable cooling components (thermostats, radiators, water pumps).
- High temperature aluminum corrosion resistance.
- Excellent cavitation protection.
- Improved hard water stability (free from any phosphate and silicate).
- High resistance to foaming.
- Environmentally friendly.
- More respectful of human health (free from any borate, nitrite and 2-Ethylhexanoate).
- Meets most European and International Standards.

ASCOTRAN® RCX can also be mixed with appropriate amount of glycol, water or alcohol to be used as :
- Heat-transfer fluid for geothermal systems
- Heat-transfer fluid for solar panels
- Coolant/antifreeze for industrial machinery
- Flushing fluid of hot test fluid for engine blocks and all cooling systems.
- Blending Instruction To Produce An Engine Coolant Concentrate
- ASCOTRAN® RCX is readily mixable with glycols. The recommended dosage rate for ASCOTRAN® RCX with MEG or MPG is 8% by weight. Dyestuffs can be incorporated into the blend to color in accordance with customer requirements.
- The final coolant solution can be prepared with minimum 25% of this concentrate diluted into deionized water.
