METALGUARD® A80

METALGUARD A80 is heavy-duty, nitrite free additive package that allows you to make antifreeze meeting ASTM D6210 and ASTM D3306 specifications. A80 meets the performance requirements of ASTM D6210 without nitrite or nitrite/molybdate but still provides wet sleeve cylinder liner cavitation protection due to its unique formulation. A major advantage of this type of additive system is that it provides total cooling system protection for 600,000 on-road miles without the use of additive-containing coolant filters or supplemental coolant additives (SCAs).

The addition of a METALGUARD A80 Extender is recommended at approximately 300,000 miles or when needed. It is recommended that a sample of the coolant be inspected quarterly to detect any problems such as significant color change, pH change, phase separation, precipitation, cloudiness, or obvious contamination. With the same maintenance program, A80 will provide protection for off-road applications up to 12,000 hours or 6 years whichever comes first.

Coolant made with METALGUARD A80 is much less sensitive to water hardness chemicals, which cause scale formation, because of its low chemical reactivity. This low reactivity also makes coolant made with A80 much less sensitive to contaminants such as motor oil and other coolants.

Coolant made with METALGUARD A80 will be suitable for passenger cars, vans, SUVs, light trucks, heavy-duty vehicles and many off-road applications such as stationary engine cooling systems. It will provide superior corrosion protection for all cooling system metals, including aluminum, steel, cast iron, copper, brass and solder alloys.
