Cerma Universal Antifreeze — Triple Protection Coolant for All Vehicles & Metal Alloys
Cerma Universal Antifreeze delivers triple protection against wear, deposits, and corrosion in one formula. Compatible with all six standard metal alloys and all coolant types — green, OAT, HOAT, and hybrid. Works in cars, trucks, SUVs, diesel engines, heavy-duty trucks, commercial fleets, watercraft, and recreational vehicles.
Ships as concentrate — mix 50/50 with reverse osmosis or spring water for optimal protection and better value.
✅ Triple Protection Technology
| Protection | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Wear Protection | Reduces metal-on-metal contact in water pump, thermostat housing, and cooling passages |
| Deposit Protection | Prevents scale, mineral buildup, and gel formation in radiator, heater core, and engine passages |
| Corrosion Protection | Protects all six standard metal alloys: aluminum, copper, brass, steel, cast iron, and solder |
🔬 Advanced Features
- Wetter water technology — improves heat transfer and cooling efficiency beyond standard antifreeze
- High temperature stability — maintains protection under extreme heat and sustained heavy loads
- Extended fluid life — longer intervals between coolant changes
- Water pump protection — reduces cavitation and seal wear to extend pump life
- Exceeds factory standards — meets or exceeds OEM and industry specifications
- Universal compatibility — safe to mix with conventional (green), OAT, HOAT, and all hybrid coolant types
🧪 Wetter Water Technology: Standard antifreeze creates a surface tension that actually reduces heat transfer at metal-to-coolant contact points. Cerma's wetter water formula breaks this surface tension, allowing coolant to make better contact with hot metal surfaces — moving heat away from the engine more efficiently. The result: lower operating temperatures from better cooling, not just freeze protection.
📋 How to Use — Concentrate Formula
Cerma Universal Antifreeze ships as a concentrate for better value and lower shipping cost. Mix with water before adding to your cooling system.
- Mix 50/50 — combine equal parts Cerma concentrate with reverse osmosis (RO) or spring water
- Drain existing coolant — flush your cooling system if switching coolant types (recommended)
- Fill system — add the 50/50 mixture to your radiator or coolant reservoir
- Run engine to operating temperature — check level after thermostat opens and top off as needed
⚠️ Important: Use reverse osmosis (RO) or spring water for mixing — not tap water. Tap water contains minerals and chlorine that can cause scale buildup and reduce corrosion protection. The 50/50 ratio provides freeze protection to approximately -34°F (-37°C).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix this with my existing coolant?
Yes. Cerma Universal Antifreeze is compatible with all coolant types — conventional green (IAT), OAT (Dex-Cool, orange/pink), HOAT (hybrid), and all manufacturer-specific formulas. For best results, we recommend a full flush and fill, but mixing is safe if needed.
How do I mix the concentrate?
Mix 50% Cerma concentrate with 50% reverse osmosis (RO) or spring water. One ½-gallon container of concentrate + ½ gallon of RO water = 1 gallon of ready-to-use 50/50 coolant. Do not use tap water — minerals and chlorine in tap water reduce protection and can cause scale buildup.
What freeze protection does the 50/50 mix provide?
A 50/50 mix provides freeze protection to approximately -34°F (-37°C) and boilover protection to approximately 265°F (129°C). For extreme cold climates, a 60/40 ratio (60% concentrate, 40% water) provides additional freeze protection, but do not exceed 70% concentrate as this actually reduces heat transfer.
Will it work in my diesel truck?
Yes. Cerma Universal Antifreeze is formulated for both gasoline and diesel engines, including heavy-duty diesel trucks. The triple protection formula protects all six metal alloys commonly found in diesel cooling systems, and the wetter water technology is especially beneficial in diesel engines that generate more heat under load.
What is "wetter water" technology?
Standard coolant creates surface tension that forms an insulating barrier between the coolant and your engine's metal surfaces. Cerma's wetter water formula reduces this surface tension, allowing the coolant to make better contact with hot metal — improving heat transfer and cooling efficiency. The result is lower operating temperatures from the same cooling system.
Is the 30-gallon drum pre-mixed?
The 30-gallon drum ships with 25 gallons of RO water included, making it ready for large-volume fleet and shop use. This is the most cost-effective option for commercial operations, shops, and fleet managers who service multiple vehicles.
How often should I change Cerma Antifreeze?
Cerma Universal Antifreeze provides extended fluid life compared to standard coolant. Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended coolant change intervals as a baseline, and test your coolant periodically with pH and freeze-point test strips. The triple protection formula maintains its protective properties longer than conventional antifreeze.
Can I use it in a boat or marine engine?
Yes. Cerma Universal Antifreeze works in marine engines that use closed cooling systems (freshwater-cooled with a heat exchanger). The corrosion protection for all six metal alloys is especially important in marine environments where moisture and temperature cycling accelerate corrosion.
