*G12

Why is the antifreeze package marked with the "VW G12" standard in large bold letters on the front side of the canister in the product name, and the approval of this tolerance is only mentioned in the "recommended" section?

The answer lies in the plane of marketing (financial) copyrights for the classification of antifreezes: Almost ALL liquids of the internal combustion engine cooling system can be attributed to one of 3 types according to the VW standard: G 11/12/13.

In simple terms, coolant is a fairly simple product. The difference is in the way they deal with corrosion.

Historically, this classification from WV turned out to be the most universal, BUT! In order to receive official recognition from VW, it is necessary to undergo an expensive fluid analysis procedure in order to formally approve VW, and since. the formula and composition of coolants according to VW standards is no longer a secret - manufacturers simply reproduce them in full accordance with one of the 3 "approvals", which is indicated on the canister.

Each car owner sooner or later faces the problem of choosing a fluid for the cooling system of his vehicle, since it is an indispensable component for the proper functioning of the engine.

The refrigerant under the Sintec Gold brand is rapidly gaining popularity not only in our country: it is in demand in the countries of near and far abroad. As for its quality, the manufacturer Obninskorgsintez assures its reliability.

According to the engineers of the manufacturer, they have been improving the technology of its manufacture for many years, and now, when the company has its own research and testing department, which is engaged in introducing the latest technologies into production, they were able to achieve excellent results.

The company assures that its products, including Sintec antifreeze, and its unlimited, premium and luxury varieties, meet the highest international standards: for this, the manufacturer provides on the website certificates of conformity and all kinds of approvals for use from brands such as VAZ, Volkswagen, Volvo, etc.

It is worth noting that Sintec - Gold refrigerants, Sintec Unlimited antifreeze, Sintec Lux G12 red antifreeze, Sintec Ultra and Sintec Premium G12 antifreeze have been repeatedly recognized as one of the best by various automotive publications.

Thanks to them, your engine will never boil, foam will not form on the coolant, sediment will not form, and system elements will not corrode.

Sintec Gold will provide:

• high thermal conductivity;
• low freezing temperature threshold;
• good evaporation rate;
• low foaming;
• no impact on other parts of the system.

Carboxylate coolants such as Sintec Gold help to protect car elements from corrosion as efficiently as possible, while their elements can act exactly at the moment when it is needed.

Main characteristics

The carboxylate refrigerant Sintec Gold is produced taking into account the most modern developments of the manufacturing company - a well-known manufacturer of auto chemicals. It is based on high-quality ethylene glycol and the latest additives. The substance creates the correct mode of operation of the engine, and prevents corrosion and deposits. Due to the low crystallization temperature, Sintec is able to protect the motor from freezing down to -40º C.

Antifreeze also prevents damage to hoses, seals or gaskets, and low foaming helps protect against air pockets. The approximate service life of the composition reaches 250,000 km in cars, and 500,000 in trucks.

Sintec Gold refrigerant is the latest development created from organic acids. This composition does not contain amines and nitrites, silicates, borates, and phosphates, which allows it to perfectly protect the motor from the inside.

Its color is yellow, which perfectly matches the name: thanks to the addition of yellow dyes, drivers will be able to notice and prevent leaks in time, as well as distinguish antifreeze from other liquids.

The standard for this agent is G12: this designation is accepted for carboxylate coolants. Compared to other predecessors, these fluids have excellent performance and the highest quality.

Where is it applied?

There are many areas of application for Sintec Gold coolant: it is used in almost any vehicle, including trucks and cars of foreign and domestic production.

The refrigerant performs well not only in standard operating conditions, but also in difficult ones. It is most often found on sale in cans, on the labels of which, in addition to the phrase Sintek Gold, the word OEM is printed. This marking indicates that the antifreeze is suitable for primary filling on the manufacturer's conveyor.

• Volkswagen;
• Volvo;
• DAEWOO;
• KAMAZ, etc.

Syntec Gold G12 can be mixed with carboxylate refrigerants of the appropriate brand, while, however, mixing with silicate antifreeze is unacceptable.

In custody

Gold-OEM coolant is a new generation fluid that has a number of advantages, in particular, an excellent quality-price ratio, long service life, reliable cavitation protection and the ability to protect internal engine components from corrosion.

As for the shortcomings, only a relatively high cost can be attributed to them, but all the advantages more than cover it.

Carboxylate antifreezes are one of the most modern, high-quality and versatile. These include Sintec Antifreeze LUX G12, manufactured by Obninskorgsintez, a leading company in the auto chemical goods market in Russia. It is distinguished by high quality, excellent performance, wide scope at an adequate price.

Product description

Sintec lux G12 antifreeze is created using modern carboxylate technology. Its essence is that corrosion inhibitors based on organic acids are added to the base fluid. Thanks to this, the product works non-standard. Instead of creating a strong protective film over the entire surface of the cooling system, it reacts selectively, pointwise, adsorbing only in places where corrosion occurs.

Sintec Lux has a long service life - up to 250 thousand kilometers for cars and up to 500 thousand for trucks. Or about 5 years. It has high cooling properties, protects the system from freezing, overheating and corrosion. Tests of "luxury" antifreeze showed that it has good cleaning abilities, does not allow harmful deposits to form inside the channels, in the engine compartment, in the water pump and radiator.

Sintec lux has a high boiling point and a low freezing point. Practically does not foam, thereby preventing the formation of air pockets. It also has a high level of protection against cavitation - the collapse of gas bubbles with the formation of condensate and noise.

Interesting! Often, on the shelves you can find packages with an inscription on the Lux-OEM label, indicating that this antifreeze is intended for primary filling on the conveyor by the automaker. The surplus of manufactured products is sent for sale to the retail chain called Sintec lux oem G12 and has no differences in characteristics and properties with its brother in the luxury line.

Composition, color, standard

Composition and other information on the label of the Sintec LUX antifreeze canister

The basis of the Sintec coolant is a water-glycol solution. Organic corrosion inhibitors are added to it using organic technology. The product does not contain nitrites, nitrates, amines, phosphates, borates and silicates. Thus, the purest coolant is obtained, which does not have anything superfluous in its composition. This explains its high performance and long service life.

The color of antifreeze is red-orange. By itself, coolant has no color. The dyes added to it serve several purposes. First: distinguish poisonous liquid from ordinary water. Second: quickly find leaks and fix them. Third: to distinguish by eye one antifreeze from another. So, seeing that it is red, you can immediately understand that this is a carboxylate product that cannot be mixed with others. Thus, it becomes clear what can be added to antifreeze without harm to the engine, and what cannot.

There are different colors and different standards. Red and its shades are inherent in the G12 standard. It costs an order of magnitude higher than its predecessor - G11. Accordingly, its performance is higher. Syntec coolants of this standard are pure liquids without excess impurities.

How to distinguish a fake

Manufacturer's information on the original packaging

In order not to run into a fake antifreeze, it is important to be vigilant when buying. First of all, you need to understand that you can only purchase a genuine product from an authorized seller. In no case should you buy from hand, in dubious eateries or on tap.

You should not use "grandfather's" methods to determine authenticity: add salt or taste the liquid. In the first case, it is dangerous for the radiator, in the second - for human life. If the quality of the antifreeze is in doubt, testing in the laboratory will help confirm or deny the authenticity.

When buying antifreeze, pay attention to the packaging! Genuine packaging is always of high quality, contains complete information about the product, its main indicators, such as density, crystallization temperature, alkalinity and pH (pH). In addition, each antifreeze package must contain an image of a quality certificate, be free from defects, chips, smeared inscriptions and traces of opening, and also contain information about the manufacturer, including the official website and phone number.

In 2017, Obninskorgsintez began producing a new series of SINTEC antifreezes. The logo was modernized on the new label and the information is indicated in a more convenient order - the freezing point is highlighted in a block, the name and class of antifreeze are presented in a new design. Today, on the shelves you can find old and new antifreezes.

The company "Obninskorgsintez" produces coolants of all types:

• traditional (mineral with silicates);
• hybrid (with organic and inorganic additives);
• produced by technology OAT (Organic Acid Technology)- technologies of organic acids (so-called "carboxylate");
• the latest lobrid antifreeze (bipolar production technology - OAT with the addition of silicates).

All "SINTEC" coolants have a full list of properties that are inherent in high-quality antifreezes:

• high heat capacity and thermal conductivity (efficient heat removal);
• low temperatures of the beginning of crystallization and freezing (safe operation of the car at almost any negative air temperature);
• high boiling point and heat of evaporation (normal engine operation in the summer);
• high flash point (fire safety in use);
• low viscosity, especially at low temperatures (high viscosity makes circulation difficult and reduces heat transfer);
• low foaming (at high heat transfer is reduced, engine overheating and the formation of steam or air locks are possible);
• low corrosivity (this indicator is one of the decisive in assessing the quality of the coolant);
• inertness to rubber hoses, seals and polymers;
• do not form deposits in the cooling system;
• retain physical and mechanical properties during operation and storage;

Coolants "UNIVERSAL", "EURO", "ULTRA"- this modernized silicate antifreezes (Mineral coolants), do not contain nitrites and amines, which, when interacting with each other, can form carcinogenic substances. These antifreezes are compatible with all quality silicate coolants. In accordance with the requirements of automotive manufacturers, coolants of this type must provide from 30,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, thanks to the use of the latest balanced additive package, which has a high resistance to oxidation in contact with various metals, we were able to increase the service life of SINTEC silicate antifreezes to 100,000 - 120,000 km.

Antifreeze "PREMIUM" G12+

PREMIUM G12+- this modernized carboxylate antifreeze with extended service life, manufactured using Organic Acid Technology (OAT). Manufactured using a synergistic composition of salts of carboxylic acids with additional input of copper corrosion inhibitors. Differs in high heat transfer coefficient, tk. does not cover the entire surface with a protective layer, but forms the thinnest protective film only in the places where corrosion begins. Provides balanced cooling system protection under extreme temperature conditions. Absolutely safe for foreign and domestic cars, because. does not contain nitrites, amines, phosphates, borates and silicates. It does not contain additives deposited on the walls of the internal cavity of the cooling system, thereby ensuring the throughput of the radiator channels and maintaining the necessary heat dissipation. This coolant uses practically indestructible organic corrosion inhibitors. It has approvals from Volkswagen, MAN, AvtoVAZ and other automakers. Antifreeze "PREMIUM" is recommended for all main types of cast iron and aluminum engines and is designed for 250,000 km of run. "PREMIUM" G12+ fully complies with the VW TL 774-D/F Type G12+ classification. In terms of its operational properties, antifreeze significantly exceeds traditional and similar coolants. The color of the liquid is raspberry.

Antifreeze "UNLIMITED" G12++

"UNLIMITED" G12++- this the only lobrid antifreeze produced in Russia (Lobrid coolants), manufactured using the latest bipolar technology, combining the advantages of carboxylate and mineral technologies. New generation inhibitors form an ultra-thin protective film on the surface of cooling system materials and are consumed only in the event of corrosion foci. Therefore, they can be called non-consumable corrosion inhibitors. Coolant "UNLIMITED" G12 ++ contains organic acids and silicates. Silicates are spent on the formation of a protective anti-corrosion film, and carbon components protect only those places where corrosion can begin throughout the entire life of the engine. Highly effective long acting inhibitors provide balanced protection under extreme conditions. Antifreeze eliminates the causes of possible radiator leaks, clogged thermostats and water pump failures. The fundamental difference between this antifreeze and all existing coolants is unlimited service life (when pouring into a new engine). Antifreeze "UNLIMITED" G12++ has Volkswagen VW TL 774-G Type G12++ approvals. Designed for all major types of engines. Mixable with mineral silicate coolants type G11 and carboxylate coolants type G12 and G12+. The color of the liquid is purple.

Since the summer of 2012, the Obninskorgsintez company has carried out a reverse rebranding of the entire line of antifreezes "SINTEC". The old designation of antifreeze types S11 and S12 has been replaced by a new one - G11 and G12. This is due to the fact that our partners Volkswagen AG, whose use of the abbreviations G11 and G12 seemed to us not quite correct, as it turned out, do not consider "G11" and "G12" their intellectual property and do not object to our use of this marking.
All "SINTEC G12", "SINTEC G12+" and "SINTEC G12++" antifreezes have approvals (tolerances) from the Volkswagen factory and fully comply with the specifications TL 774-D Type G12, TL 774-F Type G12 + and TL 774-G Type G12 ++, respectively. In addition, "UNLIMITED" G12++ antifreeze is used as the first fill at the Russian Volkswagen plant.
