BASF has launched a new line of GLYSANTIN ELECTRIFIED low-electrical conductivity coolants (LECCs) designed for electric vehicles (EVs). These coolants are engineered to improve the safety and stability of high-voltage battery systems by reducing risks linked to fluid breakdown and overheating.
Researchers evaluate color samples of the new low electrical conductivity coolants in a BASF lab.
The products comply with China’s updated GB 29743.2-2025 standard for EV coolants, which takes effect on October 1st, 2025.
This standard was developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport of China, research institutions, OEMs, and suppliers to strengthen battery safety requirements across the EV sector.
By maintaining low and stable currents in contact with high-voltage components, BASF’s LECCs help mitigate fluid decomposition and hydrogen generation, reducing the likelihood of thermal events.
They also provide corrosion protection and compatibility with a range of materials, with performance validated by testing organizations such as SGS and RATTC.
Production has begun at BASF’s Pudong site in China, currently the largest global market for new energy vehicles. Initial deployment will focus on Chinese customers, with potential for expansion as demand for LECCs increases in other regions.
GLYSANTIN ELECTRIFIED products are part of BASF’s broader portfolio of coolants developed for EV and fuel cell systems, aimed at addressing the specific thermal management challenges of electrified powertrains.
