IT BEGAN WITH A PATENTED IDEA
It’s obvious that, as engine output increases, cooling also becomes more important. Engines were originally cooled almost exclusively with water. But there were several drawbacks to this approach. Among other things, it was necessary to drain the water before a cold night to prevent the water from freezing and damaging the cooling system.
The head of BASF himself was sick and tired of having to let the water out of his car every evening in the wintertime, so in the mid-1920s he charged Dr. Otto Jordan with developing an antifreeze that would protect the already quite complex cooling systems in use.
The original patent for Glysantin®, the world’s very first antifreeze, was granted in 1929. Since then, “The Original” from Ludwigshafen has continuously evolved and the GLYSANTIN® product range now also comprises innovative solutions for future mobility concepts including fuel cell and battery technologies.
Beyond that, living up to BASF’s corporate commitment of creating chemistry for a sustainable future, GLYSANTIN® is also setting market benchmarks when it comes to contributing to a sustainable development.
