Cat Coolants: Peace of Mind for 12,000 hours
If you own a newer piece of Cat® equipment, you probably haven’t given coolant much thought. That's because your machine came with Cat Extended Life Coolant (ELC™) that lasts for up to 12,000 hours — four times longer than a conventional coolant. It’s hands-off and worry-free.
Cat coolants provide excellent protection against boiling and freezing to prevent component damage. They are designed as part of the Cat System Solution to offer superior protection against corrosion, scaling and deposits.
Cat Extended Life Advanced Coolant
Proactive maintenance is essential to avoid costly issues with coolant systems. This extended-life coolant, enhanced with nitrite technology, features patented aluminum protection that reduces cavitation while being compatible with the aluminum used in today’s radiators. ELC Advanced coolant technology is designed to address these specific challenges.
Cat® ELC Advanced is developed, tested, and approved by Caterpillar to meet the same high standards as all Genuine Cat Parts.
• Advanced metal protection incorporates an advanced formula technology with organic acid additive inhibitors for maximum protection of copper, solder, brass, steel, cast iron and aluminum.
• Excellent passivation and flux compatibility (the formula is compatible with CAB brazed material and fast passivator properties).
• Excellent aluminum protection (the formula effectively protects aluminum in high temperature applications and eliminates nitrite depletion).
• Expanded elastomer compatibility provides improved mix of inhibitors package.
Cat ELC Advanced is phosphate, borate, silicate, 2EHA and amine free
Cat ELC Advanced Coolant Real World Impact
Neglecting your coolant system can lead to deposits forming in the radiator, causing overheating and about a 5% loss in performance.
This could escalate to costly repairs and lost productivity due to unexpected downtime if not addressed. Protect your equipment and your bottom line with Cat ELC Advanced.
Cat Batteries: Maximum Starting Power, Every Time
Cat® coolant technology is designed to protect equipment, extend drain intervals, and reduce maintenance when used correctly. This video explains Cat Extended Life Coolant (ELC) Advanced and Cat Extended Life Inhibitor (ELI), including where each is used, how they differ, and important maintenance considerations.
Cat ELC Advanced replaces Cat Diesel Engine Antifreeze Coolant and Natural Gas Engine Coolant. It provides patented aluminum protection, does not require supplemental coolant additives (SCA) at initial fill, and offers up to a 20,000-hour or six-year drain interval.*
Cat ELI is a long-lasting coolant for marine and industrial diesel engines. It does not provide freeze protection and should not be used in engines equipped with an air-to-air aftercooler (ATAAC). Cat ELI meets ASTM standards and can last up to six times longer than conventional coolants when mixed with water that meets Caterpillar requirements.
