FUCHS Fricofin Cv_20L

Product Description

FUCHS FRICOFIN CV is a concentrated, long-life antifreeze and anti-boil coolant formulated using Organic Acid Technology (OAT). It provides corrosion protection for engine cooling systems and is designed for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, heavy-duty engines and off-highway equipment.

The red formulation is free from nitrites, borates, amines, phosphates, silicates and 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA). FUCHS recommends mixing it at 50% coolant concentrate and 50% water before use.

Features and Benefits

• Long-life protection: Designed for extended coolant service life when maintained according to manufacturer recommendations.

• Corrosion protection: Helps protect metals used in engine cooling systems.

• Anti-freeze and anti-boil performance: Supports reliable cooling-system operation when correctly diluted.

• OAT technology: Uses an organic-acid corrosion inhibitor system.

• Silicate-free formulation: Suitable for applications requiring silicate-free coolant.

• 2-EHA-free: Formulated without 2-ethylhexanoic acid.

• Broad equipment coverage: Suitable for a range of passenger, commercial and off-highway engines where the required coolant specification is met.

Applications

• Passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

• Heavy-duty trucks and buses.

• Agricultural and forestry machinery.

• Construction and mining equipment.

• Marine engines.

• Stationary engines and power-generation equipment.

• Mixed fleets requiring compatible glycol-based engine coolants.

Typical Physical Characteristics

Detailed values for density, pH, boiling point and freeze protection depend on the concentration and should be confirmed using the current technical data sheet.

Mixing and Use

• Mix 50% FRICOFIN CV concentrate with 50% suitable water, unless the equipment manufacturer specifies otherwise.

• Use clean water of suitable quality, following the coolant manufacturer's instructions.

• Do not fill the cooling system with the concentrate undiluted.

• Follow the engine manufacturer's coolant-change interval and system-maintenance procedures.

• Check the required coolant specification before use; colour alone does not establish compatibility.

Storage and Handling

• Store in the original, tightly sealed container.

• Keep the product in a cool, dry location.

• Prevent contamination with dirt, water or other coolant formulations.

• Clean up spills promptly and prevent entry into drains or waterways.

Health and Safety

Consult the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling. Avoid ingestion and prolonged skin contact. Wear appropriate protective equipment and wash hands after use. Collect and dispose of used coolant through an authorised waste-management service.

Product Category

Premium long-life concentrated engine coolant — red OAT technology.

Main Applications

Automotive, heavy-duty diesel, agricultural, construction, marine and stationary-engine cooling systems requiring an OAT coolant meeting the relevant manufacturer specification.

Product identification: FRICOFIN CV is the concentrate. It is different from FRICOFIN CV 50, which is a ready-to-use premixed coolant.
