PrixMax RCP Platinum® is the latest in the RCP range of glycol-free engine coolants, designed for mining applications and offering ultra long service life, superior heat transfer efficiency and environmental and workplace safety. RCP Platinum was the first coolant in the world to be certified carbon neutral.

PrixMax MEG95 is a universal heavy duty coolant recommended for all engines requiring a nitrite- and silicate-free coolant meeting ASTM D6210 and a wide variety of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications.

PrixMax Heavy Duty N-ELC is recommended for use in trucks, buses and heavy duty equipment requiring a nitrite-inhibited product, where ASTM D6210, Cat® EC-1 and TMC RP329 are cited. The advanced nitrited organic additive technology (NOAT) incorporates a nitrite and molybdate inhibitor package to deliver outstanding wet sleeve liner pitting and corrosion protection.

Ultra long-life coolants for underground mining and environmentally sensitive sites

PrixMax is an industry leader in the development and supply of next-generation, ultra long life glycol-free engine coolants and corrosion inhibitors for the mining industry.

For mines operating in warmer climates, PrixMax’s glycol-free engine coolants are designed to provide superior heat transfer and cooling efficiency; super long life protection against corrosion, pitting and erosion for all system metals; and extended service protection for all OEM seals and elastomers.

For underground mining applications in particular, PrixMax RCP coolants also eliminate the potential for fire hazards associated with combustible glycol-based antifreeze coolants.

PrixMax RCP Platinum® is the latest in this line of coolant technology, incorporating an organic additive technology (OAT) heavy duty corrosion inhibitor package which can provide a service life of up to eight years or 1,250,000km of on-road use and eight years or 24,000 hours of off-road use.

PrixMax RCP Platinum® and PrixMax RCP were the first coolants in the world to be certified Carbon Neutral.
