Evans Cooling Systems has a patented technology for the only waterless engine coolant, providing superior benefits not found with traditional water-based engine coolants. Evans waterless coolant is a permanent coolant lasting the life of an engine, eliminating the need for periodic coolant change-outs. With a boiling point of 375°, Evans HDTC has the capacity to safely operate at higher temperatures and protects the engine at temperatures well above the boiling point of water. By avoiding water vapor, the cooling system operates at a much lower pressure, reducing stress on the cooling system components. Fuel economy is also improved with the higher operating temperature and reduction of fan-on time. The waterless formula avoids corrosion, decreasing maintenance costs. Evans HDTC is a safer environmentally friendly alternative to water-based coolants. For more information, visit www.evanscooling.com or call 860-668-1114.
