WHY ENGINE AUDIT FLUID?


Newly manufactured engines rely on solid testing prior to vehicle assembly. Our flash rust inhibitors ensure that when the fluid is drained after the test run, the small quantity of fluid remaining in the engine block provides corrosion protection of the internal parts of the engine during transportation as the internal surfaces of the engine are exposed to the atmosphere and are at risk of corrosion from the engine plant to the assembly plant or final location.​

PERFORMANCE TESTED

DESIGNED TO MEET ASTM & ENGINE MANUFACTURERS' UNIQUE STANDARDS

We test all our products to ensure they pass the most stringent standards. D17-MX was formulated to pass not only ASTM-D3306 standards, but also many engine manufacturers' personal standards as well. ​

OUR PRODUCT

MEET D17-MX, YOUR NEWEST ENGINE'S BEST FRIEND

Engine manufacturers around the world are switching from their decades-old technology to D17-MX for their flash rust inhibitor.

PFD-Flash-Rust-Inhibitor-Nitrite-Free-Non2EH

Nitrite-Free Non-2EH


D17-MX is an Organic Acid Technology (OAT) that doesn’t contain any 2-EH, which is notorious for corroding and dissolving gaskets.

PFD-Flash-Rust-Inhibitors-Lower-Treat-Rate

Lower Treat Rate


D17-MX's low treat-rate means you use less product, ultimately saving you money on shipping and the amount of additives needed to purchase.​

PFD-Flash-Rust-Inhibitor-Controls-Biogrowth

Controls Bio-Growth


D17-MX contains biocides to stop any harmful organisms from growing in engines during storage.​

PFD-Flash-Rust-Inhibitor-Dye-Tracer-Option

Dye-Tracer Option


We have two different formulations, one with a dye tracer to identify any leaks that may exist and one without.​

FLEXIBLE FORMULATIONS

FORMULATED FOR USE WITH WATER-BASED OR GLYCOL-BASED FLUIDS

Not all engine manufacturers' processes are the same. That’s why our flash rust inhibitors will work with water-based or glycol-based fluids.
