GLYSANTIN® ELECTRIFIED®

The GLYSANTIN®  ELECTRIFIED® product family provides market leading solutions with measurable sustainability contributions to current and future mobility concepts including fuel cell and battery technologies.

Mobility solutions are continually evolving and vehicle fleets around the globe are changing. The amount of available powertrain technologies has expanded significantly: Advancements in internal combustion engines (ICE), battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and hybrid technologies (FHEV, PHEV) lead to a mix of powertrains on the road. This also translates into new requirements for coolant technologies. Continuously rethinking cooling, GLYSANTIN® has developed a portfolio to specifically address the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s powertrain technologies.

glysantin_electrified_box.png

The GLYSANTIN® ELECTRIFIED® product family offers premium engine coolants suitable for all current and future powertrains delivering manifold protection. While traditional GLYSANTIN® products used in ICE are also suitable for hybrid technologies and indirectly cooled BEV, new dedicated products for FCEV and BEV have been developed.

Internal Combustion Engines (ICE)

In order to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions of combustion engines, smaller, lighter and hotter engines are being developed. New construction materials are being used in the manufacture of the engine cooling system. Other drivers are legislative requirements (e.g., REACH) regarding the components used in the final product. As a result, problems are observed in modern engine coolant systems, e.g., deposits, reduced functionality of the heat exchanger and increased corrosion. This requires new breakthrough technologies when it comes to future engine coolant solutions.

GLYSANTIN® G64® and GLYSANTIN® G65® not only exceed all technical requirements and fulfill the demanding legislative requirements but also sets a new benchmark for the sustainable protection of modern engines.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (e.g., Full Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FHEV) and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV))

Hybrid powertrain technologies represent the most complex challenge from a thermal management point of view. The internal combustion engine (ICE) requires coolants with excellent heat transfer properties while the power electronics, the electric engine, and the battery pack will operate at significantly lower temperatures. Here, coolants with a broad thermal functionality window are the key. 

Products such as GLYSANTIN® G30®, G34®, G40®, G64® and G65® work effectively in a broad temperature window, allowing for outstanding heat transfer and corrosion protection in the high temperature cooling circuit of the ICE as well the low temperature cooling circuit for the battery pack.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)

Many of BASF’s traditional coolant products are already successfully used in battery electric vehicles.
Products such as GLYSANTIN® G30®, G34®, G40®, G64® and G65® help to keep battery electric vehicles in their ideal thermal window and enable optimum driving range. These products do not only offer excellent stability at high temperatures, but they also effectively prevent corrosion in a broad temperature window. As a result, good passivation is achieved in the low temperature cooling circuits for the battery pack as well as in circuits of higher temperatures, e.g., for the electric engine.

 

GLYSANTIN® G22® ELECTRIFIED® is BASF's first premium engine coolant developed specifically for indirectly cooled BEV. The ready-to-use coolant delivers a low electrical conductivity and maintains low and stable currents when exposed to a voltage source. This translates into low fluid decomposition and low generation of hydrogen, making it a safety optimized product, while ensuring optimal corrosion protection.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV)

BASF has developed a coolant especially for fuel cells to support the current advancements in fuel cell technologies. GLYSANTIN® FC G20® ELECTRIFIED® Ready Mix provides the renowned triple protection against corrosion, overheating and frost while also delivering extremely low electrical conductivity. Therefore, it can be used with ion exchange resins in the fuel cell cooling system. Compared to non-inhibited glycol water mixtures the product continually maintains a low electrical conductivity, and by doing so, secures the electrical safety of the system and reduces loss of energy.

CIRCULAR SOLUTIONS

GLYSANTIN® ECO LOOP

Besides the biomass balance approach, BASF is evaluating further options to enhance the sustainability profile of its product offerings. Ongoing projects include a broad range of initiatives, for instance circular economy solutions using mechanical and chemical recycling approaches (e.g., use of post recycled packaging).
CARBON MANAGEMENT

GLYSANTIN® ECO BMB

GLYSANTIN® ECO BMB products deliver measurable CO2 emission savings depending on product and biomass substitution grade. The biomass content in the products range from 25% – 100%, delivering customized CO2 emission savings.
.

GLYSANTIN® ECO BMB

In the biomass balance (BMB) procedure, fossil resources are replaced with renewable raw materials in the very first step of the production process. The REDcert2 standard ensures the correct attribution of renewable resources in BASF’s value chain and to the respective products.

glysantin_eco_graph2.png

This approach comes with the following advantages:
 
  • Requires no reformulation – identical product performance
  • Available easy and fast
  • Saves fossil resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions
  • Drives the use of sustainable renewable feedstock (certified renewable raw material residues)

GLYSANTIN® ECO BMB offers the first premium engine coolants (G30®, G34®, G40®, G64®, G65®) derived from renewable feedstock, delivering measurable CO2 emission savings. The certified products contribute to a sustainable development by saving fossil resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This unique solution enables our customers to reduce their own CO2 footprint and to achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on performance and quality.

GLYSANTIN® offers its ECO BMB products with varying renewable feedstock contents to serve your needs best.
As feedstock, sustainably sourced biogas generated by natural degradation of organic waste is used. GLYSANTIN® ECO BMB products are available globally and existing approvals keep validity as products are chemically identical compared to the ones derived from fossil feedstock.
