Shield Steel coolant Blue 50% 20 litres
This Shield Steel coolant provides critical thermal management and robust corrosion protection for internal combustion engines. Formulated for demanding operational conditions, it ensures consistent engine temperature regulation across a broad spectrum of ambient temperatures, effectively preventing both overheating and freezing. The specific chemical composition is engineered to safeguard vital cooling system components against degradation, maintaining system integrity and extending operational lifespans. Its pre-mixed 50% concentration simplifies application, removing the requirement for dilution and ensuring correct additive levels are instantly available upon filling.
Technical Specifications
- Composition: Pre-mixed 50% ethylene glycol concentration with high-purity demineralized water. This precise ratio delivers optimized thermal properties and freeze protection.
- Operating Temperature Range: Engineered to perform effectively from -37°C freeze protection up to 129°C boiling point (when used with a properly pressurized 15 psi cap), accommodating diverse climatic conditions and engine loads.
- Volume: Supplied in a practical 20-litre container, suitable for multiple service applications or larger capacity cooling systems.
- Color: Distinctive blue coloration for easy identification and differentiation from other fluid types within the engine bay.
- Corrosion Inhibitor Package: Incorporates an advanced, non-silicate, non-phosphate, and non-nitrite inhibitor system. This specific formulation minimizes the potential for scale formation and abrasive wear, prolonging component life.
- Industry Compliance: Meets and often exceeds rigorous industry standards, including ASTM D3306 and ASTM D4985, affirming its quality and performance suitability for automotive applications.
- Longevity: Formulated as a long-life coolant, designed to offer extended service intervals, reducing maintenance frequency and associated costs.
- pH Level: Optimized pH range (typically 7.5-8.5) to prevent acidic corrosion and maintain system alkalinity.
- Specific Gravity: Approximately 1.075 at 15°C, indicating proper glycol concentration.
Compatibility & Fitment
- Material Compatibility: Demonstrates broad compatibility with a wide array of cooling system materials, including all common ferrous metals (e.g., cast iron, steel) and non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminum, copper, brass). This ensures universal applicability across various engine block and radiator constructions without detrimental material interactions.
- Engine Application: Universally suitable for both gasoline and diesel engine cooling systems. Its robust formulation withstands the varying thermal and chemical stresses associated with different fuel types and engine designs.
- Vehicle Types: Applicable across a diverse range of vehicle classifications, including passenger cars, light-duty trucks, heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and select industrial equipment. This versatility makes it a reliable choice for mixed fleet operations.
- Mixing Protocols: While fully functional as a standalone coolant, it is technically miscible with other conventional coolants. However, for optimal performance, ensuring the full benefit of its advanced inhibitor package, a complete cooling system flush and refill with Shield Steel coolant is strongly recommended.
- OEM Specifications: Users are advised to consult their specific vehicle manufacturer's service manual or specifications to confirm the recommended coolant type and chemistry for their particular model year and engine configuration. This ensures compliance with warranty requirements and maximizes system efficiency.
- Seal and Gasket Compatibility: Engineered to be non-damaging to rubber and plastic cooling system seals and gaskets, preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity over time.
Key Performance Benefits
- Optimal Heat Transfer Capability: Facilitates highly efficient heat dissipation from the engine, crucial for maintaining critical operating parameters and preventing thermal degradation of components. The balanced glycol-to-water ratio ensures maximum thermal conductivity.
- Superior Cavitation and Pitting Protection: Provides robust defense against cavitation erosion and pitting, particularly around water pump impellers and cylinder liners, significantly extending the lifespan of these mechanically stressed components.
- Advanced Anti-Corrosion Agents: Incorporates a sophisticated package of corrosion inhibitors that form a protective barrier on metallic surfaces. This multifaceted protection guards against rust, galvanic corrosion, and acid attack across the entire cooling system infrastructure, from radiator cores to heater matrixes.
- Effective Freeze Point Depression: Guarantees reliable freeze protection down to -37°C, safeguarding the engine block, radiator, and other system components from expansion damage in sub-zero ambient conditions.
- Elevated Boiling Point: Raises the boiling point of the coolant to 129°C (under pressure), mitigating the risk of boil-over and steam pocket formation, especially during high-load operation or in hot climates. This maintains fluid phase stability.
- Reduction of Scaling and Deposit Formation: The inhibitor system actively minimizes the precipitation of hard water salts and other contaminants, preventing the accumulation of insulating deposits that hinder heat transfer and restrict flow within cooling passages.
- Long-Term System Integrity: By preventing corrosion, cavitation, and deposits, the coolant preserves the mechanical and thermal efficiency of the cooling system over its entire service life, reducing the need for costly repairs.
- Foaming Control: Contains anti-foam agents to suppress aeration, which can reduce cooling efficiency and accelerate component wear.
