As the global automotive industry enters the era of electric mobility, new drivetrain systems such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) present completely different technical requirements. Among them, cooling systems must not only be efficient in heat transfer but also ensure absolute electrical safety and material compatibility.

Developed by BASF – the world’s leading chemical company – GLYSANTIN® ELECTRIFIED® is an advanced line of coolant solutions, specifically designed to meet the stringent new standards of modern electrified drivetrains.

Outstanding Electrical Performance – Low, Stable, and Safe Conductivity

One of the standout features of the GLYSANTIN® ELECTRIFIED® line is its ability to maintain low and stable electrical conductivity over time, even when in contact with metals such as copper or brass – materials commonly found in cooling systems.

GLYSANTIN® FC G20® ELECTRIFIED® is a product developed specifically for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Compared to uninhibited glycol/water mixtures, this solution maintains a consistently low level of electrical conductivity, thereby ensuring electrical safety and effectively preventing corrosion throughout its lifespan.
Tests with materials like copper and brass have shown that GLYSANTIN® FC G20® effectively limits increases in resistance and ionization – a factor that helps extend the service life of the system.
GLYSANTIN® G22® ELECTRIFIED® is BASF’s first premium product for indirectly cooled battery electric vehicles (BEVs). When exposed to a 4V voltage source, the product maintains a low and stable current, helping to minimize solution degradation and reduce hydrogen gas formation – a potential hazard in high-voltage systems.
At the same time, the product continues to deliver optimal corrosion protection, even under demanding temperature and voltage conditions.

Toward a Sustainable Future with ECO ELECTRIFIED®

Focusing not only on technical performance, GLYSANTIN® ELECTRIFIED® is also an ideal choice for businesses and manufacturers that prioritize environmental values. Some products in this line can be developed according to the ECO ELECTRIFIED® standard, featuring a low Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) through the use of biomass balance methods or circular economy solutions.
This not only reduces environmental impact but also provides a solid foundation for sustainable development strategies in the electrified mobility sector.
