Shell Coolant Longlife Concentrate is an engine coolant concentrate (antifreeze) based on monoethylene glycol and organic additive technology. This product contains no nitrites, amines, phosphates, borates, silicates and no other mineral additives. Shell Coolant Longlife Concentrate is suitable for both petrol and diesel engines and gives the following advantages in aqueous mixtures:
1. Increased life time, allowing less frequent maintenance, thanks to the corrosion inhibitors which have a very low depletion rate.
2. Thermal characteristics that permit effective engine cooling without boiling.
3. Elimination of deposit problems caused by use of hard water.
4. Elimination of abrasives solids, which gives a better protection of the joints of the water pump.
5. Improved anticorrosion protection of all metals and alloys used in the cooling system of modern vehicles, especially the aluminium.
6. Protection against frost, depending upon the concentration chosen.
7. Excellent antifoaming characteristics.
8. Meets most European and International Standards.
Freeze Protection
Shell Antifreeze LongLife Concentrate is a concentrated product and should be diluted for use with good quality water. For optimum performance distilled or deionized water is used.
The freeze protection afforded by the various dilutions is detailed below:
Concentration (vol %) H2O (vol %) Freeze Protection (°C)
33 67 -18
50 50 -37
67 33 -70
In order to provide a satisfactory level of corrosion protection it is recommended to use at least 33% (1:2) volume of Shell Coolant Longlife Concentrate in the coolant solution. In line with most car manufacturers it is recommended to use a 50% (1:1) volume solution for optimum performance. For cold climates use 67% (2:1) volume, concentrations above 67% volume are not recommended and give no advantage.
