Description
Product Description
FUCHS FRICOFIN DP is a premium ultra-high-performance Si-OAT (Silicated Organic Acid Technology) engine coolant concentrate designed for passenger cars, heavy-duty trucks, buses, mining equipment, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, hybrid vehicles, and stationary engines. This advanced monoethylene glycol (MEG)-based antifreeze coolant provides long-life protection against freezing, overheating, corrosion, cavitation, and deposit formation, especially in highly stressed aluminium engines and modern cooling systems.
FUCHS FRICOFIN DP is formulated with monoethylene glycol (MEG), organic acid corrosion inhibitors, and fast-reacting silicate technology to provide rapid aluminium protection and extended coolant service life. The formulation is free from nitrite, amine, and phosphate and is suitable for both passenger and heavy-duty applications where reliable cooling system protection is required.
