Radiator flush & cleaners

The radiator flush and cleaner help to get rid of scale crust, corrosion stains, oil and other impurities in the engine cooling system. This agent can slow down oxidation of metal parts and at the same time is safe for sealing elements. Use of such products improves cooling system performance and positively affects engine service life.

Types of radiator flushes and cleaners

These products differ from one another by PH index. Thus, there are the following types of radiator flushes and cleaners:

• Acid. PH is lower than 7. Such products demonstrate high efficiency when removing scale crust and corrosion damages.
• Alkaline. PH is higher than 7. It is better to use them to remove oil deposits.
• Neutral. PH of these agents is about 7. They are suitable for preventive cleaning of the engine cooling system, but they can’t dissolve significant impurities.

Composition

Apart from main active components, alkalis or acids, the products contain surface-active agents and additives which stimulate intensive dissolving of deposits. The agent composition can include corrosion inhibitors and the components which promote protection of plastic and rubber parts. The neutral agents mostly consist of tensides and PH regulators.

Tips on how to use radiator flushes and cleaners

Don’t mix acid and alkaline agents, otherwise they will not be effective. When using flushes and cleaners, follow recommendations of the manufacturing company. Most of them are used after the cooling liquid in the system is replaced with water. Follow the specified proportion when diluting agents.

After filling the cleaner, start the engine and let it work a few minutes on idle. Then the system is emptied, washed with water, and a new cooling liquid is filled. In most cases radiator cleaning should be performed once or twice a year.
