Baldwin Filters' Balanced Treatment for Ethylene Glycol (BTE) is a borate/nitrite-based inhibitor system. This formulation can only be used with 40 to 60 percent antifreeze solutions. BTE is a superior Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA) for use in all applications except plain water. Used in proper concentration, BTE will provide superior protection against cavitation erosion, corrosion, scale and foaming.
Independent lab tests show BTE
to have the lowest total dissolved solids, the best corrosion resistance, and
cavitation erosion protection equal to or better than any product on the market
today. Lower total dissolved solids means fewer water pump leaks when BTE is
used as recommended. Cavitation erosion protection that is better than nitrate/molybdate
SCA systems means superior defense against liner pitting. Combustion gases
and atmospheric conditions can lead to corroded aluminum, copper, solder, brass
and cast iron components. BTE has an advanced chemical system to provide corrosion
resistance to protect these vital engine components.
In summary, the benefits of BTE are:
- Uses nitrite for cavitation erosion (liner pitting) protection
- Eliminates pump seepage caused by granular precipitation on seals due to the lowest total dissolved solids.
- Controls solder bloom
- Reduces foaming caused by piston slap and the circulation of the coolant
- Neutralizes acids from the by-products of combustion, various metals and normal corrosion
- Protects all metal components, including aluminum
Baldwin BTE is an excellent match for the SCAs currently used and recommended by Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Mack and Navistar. It is a direct replacement for DCA2 on earlier Cummins engines. Although compatible with DCA4, Baldwin recommends draining and cleaning the coolant system prior to converting a newer Cummins engine. BTE is also compatible with Nalcool 2000 and 3000. Baldwin recommends the use of BTE with 30 to 60 percent ethylene and/or propylene glycol low silicate antifreeze. A well-maintained system will provide two years or 200,000 to 250,000 miles of service.
