Fuels and lubricants are a group of industrial products, which are mainly petroleum products in origin. They are intended primarily for use in motor vehicles, as well as in other areas that correspond to transportation: construction, industry, agriculture, etc.
They include several product groups:
- Fuels - gasoline, diesel fuel, propane-butane, etc.
- Lubricants - oils and greases
- Special fluids - brake and cooling.
The products we offer are from the groups of lubricants and special fluids. Antifreeze is among the most widely used, and therefore we will provide more detailed explanations about it.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT ANTIFREEZE?
Antifreeze is a liquid that provides efficient heat exchange in water-cooled internal combustion engines.
Antifreeze has many properties and functions, some of which are:
- Ensures effective heat exchange;
- Protects metal surfaces from corrosion;
- Provides protection against frost;
- Does not affect plastics and rubber seals;
- Chemically stable at both low and high temperatures;
- What metal surfaces used in automotive manufacturing should antifreeze protect from corrosion?
What types of antifreeze are there on the market?
- Traditional: This is a well-known antifreeze containing a higher percentage of mineral additives and up to 10% organic. It is suitable for engines manufactured before 1995;
- Organic: Based on organic acids (mono and dicarboxylic), free from silicates and potentially dangerous additives such as nitrates, amines and phosphates. This type of coolant meets the increased requirements for long-term protection of aluminum and iron alloys used in modern automotive engineering. This type of antifreeze has a significantly extended drain interval and is suitable for engines manufactured after 1995.
- Hybrid: This is a coolant based on organic acids (mono and dicarboxylic) and silicate inhibitors, free from potentially dangerous additives such as nitrates, amines and phosphates.
- Lobrid: This type of coolant also does not contain nitrates, amines and phosphates. The corrosion protection components used are organic based and have a much lower content of silicate additives compared to Hybrid antifreeze.
- Propylene Glycol: Propylene glycol-based antifreezes are increasingly found on the market. The reason is that this type of coolant is non-toxic, making it particularly sought after for formulating so-called "ecological" antifreezes.
How do you top up or change antifreeze?
The concentrate and water are pre-mixed in an intermediate vessel, then charged into the system. This is done because if only pure concentrate is poured and then water is added, the mixing time may not be sufficient and areas of water only may remain in the system, which may freeze and the resulting volumetric expansion may lead to accidents.
When and how to check the condition of antifreeze?
We can visibly check the coolant level in the tank every time we lift the hood. Another check is preventive testing with a refractometer before the winter season. In this case, the check should be carried out at a liquid temperature of 20°C, otherwise the readings may be inaccurate.
ENGINE AND CHAIN OILS. FUEL AND LUBRICANTS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES
With us you can find oils for lubricating chains of electric or petrol chainsaws. The oils ensure smooth cutting, in which the chain remains clean and moves on the bar without resistance. For automatic, long-term lubrication of the chain and bar, we recommend using only environmentally friendly, high-quality oil. If it is not specialized, it will have negative consequences for the lifespan of the chain and bar.
Here you will also find one-season oils for four-stroke engines in various sizes, as well as two-stroke oils.
If, in your practice, you encounter a bolt or nut that has seized and you cannot unscrew it, we offer you a solution. You can also purchase anti-corrosion lubricants with many applications from us.
In the product group you will also find lubricants for perforators and for PVC pipes. There are also different types of greases available, as well as sprays of different types and applications.
The items you will find are from brands such as MAKITA, WURTH, PIPELIFE, SOLA and many others.
