Summary:

The protection of the environment has become a worldwide concern. To reduce the effects of engine coolant on the environment, ways to minimize the amount of coolant released into the environment were investigated. One option is to develop a super long-life coolant. The key issue in developing a long-life engine coolant is selecting an appropriate inhibitor. The inhibitor should be stable over time and completely anticorrosive. In general carboxylic acids are considered to be the class of inhibitors with the highest stability. However, various lab studies have shown the long-term use of monocarboxylic acid could form the foreign substance that causes blockage in radiators. Therefore, the mechanism leading to the formation of foreign substance was determined. A series of carboxylic acids and additives were evaluated. An optimum formulation was then determined, resulting in the development of the Super Long Life Coolant
