Bar's Products and Ondeo Nalco (formerly Nalco Chemical Co) announce the marriage of their brands, Bar's Leaks and Nalcool. Under a joint venture agreement signed by the two companies, Bar's Products will be exclusive supplier of co-branded Bar's Xtreme Nalcool Heavy Duty Coolants in the United States and Canada.
Bar's Products recommends that technicians test vehicle cooling systems every 15,000 miles (about 250 hours) with Bar's Xtreme coolant test strips. The simple test takes about a minute to administer. After a quick dip in the coolant sample, the technician matches the test strip to the color chart on the bottle and adds the required amount of SCA.
The Bar's Xtreme Nalcool Heavy Duty Coolants product line includes a liquid SCA in 16- or 64-ounce, or five- or 55-gallon containers; two 150,000-mile filters (one fits most Cummins and Detroit Diesel engines while the other fits most Macks); and a 15,000-mile filter. Products will be sold through most heavy-duty distributors throughout the United States and Canada.
