A brand with history

Everything began with cooling - the history of the GLYSANTIN® brand

In the middle of the 1920's, questions were already being asked about a suitable coolant. The BASF chemist Dr. Otto Jordan is tasked with developing an anti-freeze. In 1929, the original patent is awarded, thus signaling the start for the world's first anti-freeze, the patent document is the "birth certificate" for the brand GLYSANTIN®.

In the following decades, GLYSANTIN® has repeatedly and successfully adapted to the ever changing market needs and the increased technical requirements. Today, waste reduction, recycling, CO2 emission reduction and electric mobility play an important role in research and development. Today GLYSANTIN® stands as a widely recommended and trusted brand for premium engine coolant products.

The packaging has also changed - from the simple tin can in the early years to the distinctive white 1-litre bottle with a cap in the colour of the product. Today, the range includes a variety of specialist products in a range of packaging sizes. No matter what your filling requirements are or what kind of engine technology you have under the bonnet, with GLYSANTIN® you can be sure that your engine will be reliably protected against overheating, frost and corrosion.
