Zerex-Supersealer guarantees protection and prevents leakage.
Ashland has been globally known for its innovative portfolio of solution to the customers and the launch of Zerex-Super sealer in the Indian market is yet another step towards bringing proven technology that can provide safe, fast and effective solutions for the customer. In this case resolving coolant leaks from the radiators as an easy fix option and thus reducing downtime. Coolant leaks have plagued engine designers and maintenance personnel since the inception of the internal combustion engine. External coolant leaks pose environmental concerns when puddles of anti-freeze are left behind. Internal coolant leaks (leaks of coolant into the combustion chamber or engine oil) contribute to oil filter plugging and engine failure.
Historically, the use of stop leak products has been less prevalent in the manufacturing of heavy duty vehicles and equipment, presumably due to lack of awareness. An ongoing review of used oil analyses, coupled with reports from maintenance teams throughout the industry, suggested that the incidence of coolant leakage in modern diesel engines is more prevalent than ever. Fortunately, Zerex-Super Sealer is a proven technology that can provide safe, fast and effective repair of coolant leaks in heavy duty engines.
The process
Super Sealer is composed of three natural, inert and non abrasive ingredients - cellulose fibre, Bentonite clay and water. When a pin hole crack is encountered in the cooling system, long cellulose fibres span the crack, while smaller fibres fill the spaces in between. Bentonite clay fills the voids between fibres, and cures hard when exposed to air and heat, forming a permanent seal. The ASTM 3147 test rig simulates coolant pressure and temperature in real world applications and is used to evaluate the ability of a stop-leak product to seal slits and holes of various shapes and sizes. Using this tool over years of development, Super Sealer has been formulated to seal a wider range of leaks than other competitive products in the market. It has also been observed that it quickly seals common leak sources in heavy duty diesel engines.
Quick and timely
Delivered as a fluid, Super Sealer rapidly circulates through the cooling system and eliminates the most 麓sealable麓 leaks within an hour. When the product is initially added, the coolant displays a cloudy appearance. Over time, the coolant clears up as its cellulose fibres are sheared by a water pump.
This makes the remaining Super Sealer ineffective after approximately 24 hours. Therefore, if new leaks form later, a fresh treatment of Super Sealer is required. The Super Sealer particles that remain behind in the cooling system are soft and non abrasive, and do not cause damage.
Not harmful
The technology in Super Sealer has been successfully implemented for many years in heavy duty engines.
While it includes a wide distribution of particle shapes and sizes, Super Sealer has been carefully formulated to avoid clogging and does not harm water pumps or its seals.
Ideal solution
Super Sealer is the only stop-leak product approved by Cummins that is used for its ISX/QSX 15 engines. Other stop leak products contain chemically active material, toxic material and abrasive metal particles.
Super Sealer is delivered in a liquid medium, and mixes more quickly and completely as compared to other options.
