Customer Benefits
- Corrosion Protection
Provides superior corrosion and cavitation protection for engine metals, including aluminum, iron, copper and solder alloys. The OAT technology provides ASTM D3306 and ASTM D6210 performance when used in glycol based antifreeze coolants. - Wide Service Application
Recommended as a coolant for all types of cooling systems where freeze protection is not required. - Long service life
The corrosion inhibitors in Delo XLI Corrosion Inhibitor contain a synergistic combination of mono and dicarboxylates that provide superior protection for a minimum of 960,000 kilometers, 12,000 hours, 6 years in on-road and off-road engine applications and 32,000 hours or 6 years in stationary engines. This product does not require regular inhibitor additions if proper maintenance practices are used. - Compatibility
Delo XLI Corrosion Inhibitor – Concentrate is a super concentrate and should be diluted to 5.5%-10% with good quality water before use. Compatible with glycol-based engine coolants but further dilution of the Delo XLI inhibitors by more than 25% with other corrosion inhibitor technologies will reduce the effectiveness of these products. - Heat Transfer
Silicate and phosphate free formulation does not contribute to deposit build up, as can be seen with phosphate and silicate containing coolants, which can help maintain heat transfer efficiency. - Low Maintenance
Requires very low maintenance compared with conventional products which require SCA. - Improved economics
No regular inhibitor additions and longer service life means lower overall maintenance costs. - Excellent toxicological and environmental aspects
Based on low toxicity inhibitors these products are readily biodegradable. The extended service life characteristic of this product contributes to the protection of the environment due to less frequent fluid disposal. - Easy Testing
Inhibitor concentration testing can be easily done using a brix refractometer.
Product features
- Delo XLI Corrosion Inhibitor provides long life corrosion protection by using optimized and patented aliphatic carboxylate organic inhibitors that provide long lasting protection for cooling system metals and components including hard to protect aluminum.
- Delo XLI Corrosion Inhibitor helps maintain excellent heat transfer since it does not contain silicates and phosphates which can over time create deposits on heat transfer surfaces.
- Delo XLI Corrosion Inhibitor exhibits low depletion rates and does not require the addition of supplemental coolant additives with correct maintenance practices.
- Dilution of Delo XLI Corrosion Inhibitor by more than 25% will reduce inhibitor performance.
- Delo XLI Corrosion Inhibitor protects against erosion, corrosion and cavitation of cooling system components.
