Product Description
FUCHS FRICOFIN 50 is a premium ready-to-use hybrid technology engine coolant designed for passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, buses, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, mining equipment, power generation engines, and stationary engines. This 50% pre-mixed monoethylene glycol (MEG) coolant provides excellent protection against freezing, overheating, cavitation, corrosion, and deposit formation while protecting modern cooling system components including aluminium, cast iron, steel, copper, brass, seals, plastics, and hoses.
FUCHS FRICOFIN 50 is formulated with monoethylene glycol, demineralised water, and a hybrid inhibitor package combining silicate and organic acid technology. It is supplied ready for use without further dilution and provides frost protection down to approximately -37°C. The formulation is free from nitrites, amines, and phosphates, making it suitable for a wide range of modern passenger car and heavy-duty engine cooling systems.
