 Have a technical question about a Cummins Filtration product?
From filtration and exhaust systems to coolant and chemical products,
we can answer your most pressing maintenance questions.
Coolant and Chemical Product Glossary
Antifreeze: A formula with ethylene glycol or propylene glycol base
that contains supplemental coolant additives (SCAs) and/or Organic
Acids to prevent corrosion, foaming and other damage to cooling
system components. It must be mixed with water before it is used!
The most common mixture is 50% each.
Asphaltene Conditioners: Fleet-tech Asphaltene Conditioners are
proprietary mixtures of aliphatic haydrocarbons formulated to clean
fuel injectors and stabilize diesel fuel.
ASTM: American Society for Testing of Materials (www.astm.org),
the most important standards-setting organization in the world, pub-
lishes specifications most commonly cited, ASTM D-3306 for cars
and ASTM D-6210 (new) and ASTM D-4985 (old) for trucks.
Borate: A pH buffer used in some antifreezes and SCAs (supple-
mental coolant additives) to maintain the pH of coolant as it ages.
Carboxylates: Organic acids that have the chemical fragment
COOH in the molecule. In orange coolant, such as GM DEX-
COOL®, some of the anti-rust inhibitors are from this chemical fam-
ily.
Charge: To charge or pre-charge a heavy-duty coolant, add 3%
SCA to a 50% low silicate ASTM 4985 specification antifreeze and
50% water mix. In water, 6% SCA is usually the pre-charge dose.
Cloud Point: The cloud point of a liquid is a measure of the
degree of crystallization in a stock that can be measured by the
refractive index.
Cold Filter Plugging Point: The CFPP is the higher temperature
at which a determined fuel sample stops to come through a stan-
dardized filtration apparatus in a limited time and when it is cooled
under normalized conditions.
Coolant: The fluid formulation in the cooling system, usually half
antifreeze and half water.
Coolant Filter: A filter through which coolant flows and widely
used as delivery device for SCA chemicals. Care is necessary to
ensure the proper application, containing the proper chemical dose,
is used. Extended life, slow release coolant filters are now used
with extended life coolants.
DI Water: Water purified by deionization. It is chemically pure and
contains no calcium or magnesium (hardness) found in many tap
waters. It is recommended as the make-up for coolant, especially
extended service coolants.
Esters: A chemical family found in some recycled antifreezes.
These chemicals quickly deplete the inhibitor package, acidify the
coolant and cause catastrophic cooling system failure in remarkably
short periods of time.
Ethylene Glycol: The most common antifreeze base. At 50% in
water, EG antifreeze provides freeze protection to -34º F. EG can
be harmful if ingested.
Freeze point: By a specific ASTM test, the point where the coolant
freezes.
Fully formulated: This term describes the new heavy-duty
LT15108 - Rev 5 For more information, please visit us at www.fleetguard.com

Printed in the USA
or contact Customer Assistance at 1-800-22-FILTER (1-800-223-4583)
coolants that contain all chemicals necessary to protect diesel as
well as automotive cooling systems. The ASTM specification for
fully formulated coolant, ASTM D-6210, requires simultaneous com-
pliance with all of the previous automotive and heavy-duty specifi-
cations. Therefore, this is a true universal antifreeze specification
and may be used in any system.
Molybdate: In the Fleetguard DCA-4, SCA, and coolant technolo-
gy, a component to prevent cylinder liner cavitation and protect
hard and soft metals from corrosion.
Nitrate: A general anti-corrosion additive that is especially effective
in preventing rust (iron and steel corrosion).
Nitrite: Additive present in all good SCAs and fully formulated
antifreezes (ASTM spec D-6210) that is the most important additive
for preventing cylinder liner cavitation.
Organic acid: A large family of chemicals usually used to refer in
antifreeze discussions to carboxylate inhibitors.
pH: A scale that indicates the acidity or alkalinity of a fluid or solu-
tion. The scale runs from 0 to 14 with values below 7 being acidic
and those above 7 being alkaline. Antifreeze/coolant and SCA solu-
tions run in the alkaline to mildly alkaline range of 7.5 to 11.0. A
coolant or SCA solution will become unstable if the pH drops too
much with use. Minimum acceptable pH depends on the type of
coolant. Rapid additive depletion/precipitation and corrosion is likely
once the coolant pH falls below the lower limit.
Phosphate: A pH buffer used in the vast majority of coolants. It is
effective and less expensive than borate, but less soluble. Detroit
Diesel® does not recommend phosphated coolants.
Pre-charged: A term to describe antifreeze that contains SCA. It is
now obsolete; the term fully formulated is preferred.
Propylene Glycol: An alternative, slightly more expensive
antifreeze base fluid that is environmentally friendlier than ethylene
glycol due to its lower toxicity. Provides excellent corrosion protec-
tion.
Reserve alkalinity: The ability of a coolant to resist aging as
reflected by the amount of hydrochloric acid required to put the pH
down to 7.0 in an ASTM test. Phosphated coolants typically have
an RA of 10, borate-buffered coolants have about 7.
SCA: An acronym for supplemental coolant additive which is a
chemical package added to coolant either as a liquid, powder or
charge inside a filter to fortify the coolant's anticorrosive and other
desirable properties. SCAs that meet the ASTM SCA specification
are strongly preferred for maximum protection.
Silicate: The best protection against aluminum corrosion.
However, silicate has limited solubility in coolant and is often asso-
ciated with radiator plugging in poorly formulated coolants or SCAs.
High quality coolants contain silicate stabilizers.
Silicate stabilizer: A chemical used in the best coolants and SCAs
to prevent silicate drop-out, which may cause problems.
Total Dissolved Solids: A measure of dissolved materials in water
that indicates salinity.
