Red Antifreeze Ready to use - 1000L IBC
Reliable Engine Cooling & Freeze Protection for Commercial Use
The Red Antifreeze Ready to Use- 1000L IBC is a pre-mixed, professional-grade engine coolant formulated to deliver dependable freeze protection, corrosion resistance and heat transfer performance.
Ideal for larger fleets, heavy-duty construction and industrial heat transfer applications.
Designed for modern engines and mixed-metal cooling systems, this ready-to-use antifreeze eliminates the need for on-site dilution while ensuring consistent protection across large fleets and high-usage environments.
Based on monoethylene glycol and organic additive technology, it is suitable for use in both petrol and diesel engines, contains no nitrites, amines, phosphates, borates, silicates and no other mineral additives.
Supplied in a 1000-Litre IBC, it is the ideal bulk solution for workshops, depots and operators managing multiple vehicles or machines.

How to Use
- Ensure the engine is cool before opening the cooling system

- Bleed the system according to vehicle or equipment manufacturer instructions
- Check levels after initial operation and top up if required
Red Antifreeze Ready to Use does not need to be diluted and in its current state gives -40°C freeze protection. However, should a lower freeze protection be required, the table below shows the possible dilution rates and resulting temperature protection. Dilute with deionised water for optimum results:
| Red Antifreeze Ready to Use (vol %) | Water (vol %) | Freeze Protection (°C) |
| 66 | 34 | -20 |
| 100 | 0 | -40 |
