CARBON MANAGEMENT

GLYSANTIN^® ECO BMB

In GLYSANTIN^® ECO BMB products, 100% of the fossil raw materials at the beginning of the value chain are replaced by renewable feedstock according to the biomass-balance approach of BASF (BMB). This saves CO₂ emissions during their manufacture. As a result, ECO BMB products have a significantly improved CO₂ footprint.

CIRCULAR SOLUTIONS

GLYSANTIN^® ECO LOOP

In addition to the biomass balance approach, BASF is looking at other ways to improve the sustainability profile of its product range. Current projects include a variety of initiatives, such as circular economy solutions using both mechanical and chemical recycling approaches.

GLYSANTIN^® ECO BMB - More about the BMB approach

In the biomass balance (BMB) approach, fossil resources are replaced by renewable raw materials in the first step of the production process. The REDcert² standard ensures the correct allocation of renewable resources in BASF's value chain and to the corresponding products.

The raw material used is sustainably sourced biomethane, which is produced through the natural decomposition of organic waste. GLYSANTIN^® ECO BMB products are available worldwide. Existing approvals remain valid, as the product properties and quality are chemically identical to products derived from fossil raw materials.

In the manuafcturing process of the GLYSANTIN^® ECO BMB product line, 100% of the fossil feedstocks have been replaced with renewable ones via a certified mass balance approach: GLYSANTIN^® G30^®, GLYSANTIN^® G34^®, GLYSANTIN^® G40^®, GLYSANTIN^® G64^®, GLYSANTIN^® G65^®.

In their manufacturing process, these certified products save fossil resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This innovative approach allows customers applying te respective product to reduce their own carbon footprint while relying on consistent performance and quality of GLYSANTIN^® products.

Benefits of this approach:

Does not require reformulation - consistent product properties and quality
Quick and easy to use
Saves fossil resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions
Promotes the use of renewable feedstock (certified residues from renewable raw materials)

Mobility solutions are constantly evolving and vehicle fleets around the world are changing. The variety of powertrain concepts has increased significantly: Advances in vehicles with Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Fuel Cells Electric Vehicles (FCEV) as well as Full Hybrid Electric (FHEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) are leading to a wide variety on the roads. As a result, the requirements for engine coolants are also becoming more diverse.

Through continuous development, we have created a specialized product portfolio under GLYSANTIN^®. You too can find the right product for you and the engine you want to protect.

The GLYSANTIN^® ELECTRIFIED^® product family

The GLYSANTIN^® ELECTRIFIED^® product family offers premium engine coolants suitable for all current and future powertrains delivering manifold protection. While traditional GLYSANTIN^® products used in ICE are also suitable for hybrid technologies and indirectly cooled BEV, new dedicated products for FCEV and BEV have been developed.

What's your powertrain concept in use?

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)

In order to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions of combustion engines, smaller, lighter and hotter engines are being developed. New construction materials are being used in the manufacture of the engine cooling system. Other drivers are legislative requirements (e.g., REACH) regarding the components used in the final product. As a result, problems are observed in modern engine coolant systems, e.g., deposits, reduced functionality of the heat exchanger and increased corrosion. This requires new breakthrough technologies when it comes to future engine coolant solutions.

GLYSANTIN^® G64^®and GLYSANTIN^® G65^® not only exceed all technical requirements and fulfill the demanding legislative requirements, they also ensure optimum engine performance and longevity.

Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle (FHEV), Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

Hybrid technologies present the most complex thermal management challenge. The integrated combustion engine requires a coolant to handle the heat generated at high temperatures. At the same time, the battery, electric motor and other electronic components must be cooled to lower temperatures without compromising corrosion protection and material compatibility.

Products such as GLYSANTIN^® G30^®, G34^®, G40^®, G64^® and G65^®work effectively in a broad temperature window, allowing for outstanding heat transfer and corrosion protection in the high temperature cooling circuit of the ICE as well the low temperature cooling circuit for the battery pack.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)

Many of BASF's traditional coolants are already successfully used in battery electric vehicles.
Products such as GLYSANTIN^® G30^®, G34^®, G40^®, G64^® and G65^® help to keep battery electric vehicles in their ideal thermal window and enable optimal driving range. These products not only offer excellent stability at high temperatures, but also effectively prevent corrosion over a wide temperature window. As a result, good passivation is achieved in the low temperature cooling circuits for the battery pack as well as in the higher temperature circuits, e.g. for the electric motor.

GLYSANTIN^® G22^® ELECTRIFIED^® is BASF's first premium engine coolant developed specifically for indirectly cooled battery electric vehicles. The ready-to-use coolant has low electrical conductivity and maintains low and stable currents when in contact with a voltage source. This results in low liquid decomposition and low hydrogen evolution, making it a safety-optimized product while ensuring optimal corrosion protection.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV)

BASF's engine coolant GLYSANTIN^® FC G20^® ELECTRIFIED^® has been specially developed to protect vehicles with a fuel cell powertrain against overheating, corrosion and frost. GLYSANTIN^® FC G20^® ELECTRIFIED^® Ready Mix provides extremely low electrical conductivity and can therefore be used with ion exchange resins in the fuel cell cooling system. Compared to non-inhibited glycol-water mixtures, the product maintains a consistently low electrical conductivity, ensuring the electrical safety of the system and reducing energy loss.
