About Antifreeze Recycling
Ready Fill™ Antifreeze Inhibited with Conventional Technology Additives
Conventional Light Duty Automotive, Conventional Heavy Duty Diesel
Thermo Fluids Inc. Antifreeze Services Division produces a high quality, fully formulated, pre-diluted antifreeze inhibited with conventional technology additives. Our pre-diluted antifreeze has undergone rigorous testing to ensure this new antifreeze meets or exceeds all performance standards of ASTM D6210 Type 03, ASTM D-3306 “Glycol Base Engine Coolant for Automobile and Light Duty Service” as well as E-1177 “Standard Specification for Engine Coolant Grade Ethylene Glycol.”
To qualify the performance of our remanufactured formulations against the above standards, Thermo Fluids Antifreeze Services Division utilizes the following key program components:
- A Thermal Distillation manufacturing process
- Strict and on-going internal Quality Control protocols | QA-QC Antifreeze Policy
- Product verification through independent third-party labs
The result is quality antifreeze which meets Domestic (Ford, GM, Chrysler, etc.), Foreign (Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc.) and the following Heavy Duty performance specifications:
| ASTM D-6471 – 03 | ASTM D-4985 (no SCA required) |
ASTM D-3306 |
