Witham Group unveils new range of antifreeze

Witham Group has launched its QualGuard range of antifreeze and coolants, adding the latest Si-OAT technology to two new products.

Designed to meet the diverse needs of modern engines, the updated range now aims to offer superior protection, extended lifespan, and enhanced performance to vehicles however old or new. In addition, it has also launched a new winterisation anti-freeze.

Antifreeze technology has evolved significantly in recent years. Advances like Si- OAT offer better corrosion protection and compatibility with modern engines and are formulated to last longer, sometimes up to 10 years or 300,000 miles depending on the type of vehicle and operating conditions. Innovations, driven by the need for more efficient thermal management in electric vehicles and environmental concerns, have created new more eco-friendly and efficient coolants. With the rise of electric and hybrid vehicle, coolant technology is also evolving to meet the specific needs of battery packs, electric motors and inverters.

There is also a growing demand for more eco-friendly coolants due to increased regulatory pressure and concerns over the toxicity of traditional (ethylene glycol) antifreezes. New formulations based on propylene glycol, which is less toxic and more biodegradable than traditional formulations are being adopted.
