Product Description
FUCHS FRICOFIN CV 50 is a premium ready-to-use long-life OAT (Organic Acid Technology) engine coolant designed for heavy-duty diesel engines, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, construction machinery, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, marine engines, stationary engines, and power generation systems. This red pre-mixed antifreeze coolant provides advanced protection against freezing, overheating, cavitation, corrosion, and deposit formation while extending coolant service life in demanding operating conditions.
FUCHS FRICOFIN CV 50 is a 50% pre-diluted monoethylene glycol-based coolant formulated with advanced OAT corrosion inhibitor technology. It is free from nitrites, borates, amines, phosphates, silicates, and 2-EHA, providing long-term protection for modern cooling systems while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of glycol-based coolants. It is suitable for mixed fleets where different vehicle and equipment manufacturers require a reliable heavy-duty coolant solution.
