UCA - Hybrid Technology
UCA additive syrup is a single component product that is used to blend premium quality antifreeze / engine coolant for use in virtually any light / medium duty vehicle. Used as directed, blending UCA with glycol* or 50% glycol and water will result in engine coolant that complies with ASTM D3306 (virgin) or ASTM D6471 / D6472 (properly recycled). It is ready to be used, without additional additives, in any gasoline, diesel or gaseous fuel engine. This type of coolant is sometimes referred to as “universal” because it can also be used in heavy duty diesel if pre-charged with a supplemental coolant additive that meets ASTM D5752.

UCA, used as directed will result in an antifreeze / engine coolant that may be used in virtually any engine cooling system(requires SCA for heavy duty applications). This technology is well proven over decades of use, and is similar to the coolants used in most North American vehicle plants as factory fill until the late 1990’s. UCA meets ASTM D3306 (type 1 if blended with ethylene glycol, type 2 if blended with propylene glycol, type3 if blended with 50% EG and water, type 4 if blended with 50% PG and water). It is also approved for blending with 1,3 propanediol (PDO) to make coolant that is more thermally stable than EG or PG coolants. The coolant also meets TMC RP-3D2. If used as directed UCA will provide satisfactory performance in most cars and trucks including the following:
| ASTM D-4985* (*SCA is required) | ASTM D-3306 |

| John Deere (gasoline) | Mack Truck (SCA is required) |
