Description
Product Description
FUCHS FRICOFIN M is a premium monoethylene glycol-based engine coolant concentrate designed for passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, buses, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, mining equipment, marine engines, and stationary power generation systems. This high-performance antifreeze coolant provides advanced protection against freezing, overheating, corrosion, and cavitation while protecting modern cooling system components including aluminium, cast iron, steel, copper, brass, seals, plastics, and hoses.
FUCHS FRICOFIN M is formulated with monoethylene glycol (MEG) and an advanced hybrid coolant additive package providing reliable long-term protection for cooling systems where a glycol-based antifreeze coolant is required. The concentrate is diluted with water before use, with a typical 50% mixture providing freeze protection down to approximately -37°C.
