General Information on Antifreeze (Coolant) / Legal Changes

Due to reform of the European Chemical Agency, a classification and labeling of many radiator antifreeze products has been changed November 23rd 2023.

As a result, product containing 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) as a corrosion inhibitor may no longer be sold over the counter. These products will then fall under the Chemicals Prohibition Ordinance in Germany.

We are currently in the transition period, which should allow all affected parties to sell stock and self stock before November 23rd 2023 and change the product range accordingly.

At Ravenol, these products are effected: Ravenol OTC C12+ -Products with the article numbers:1410110 and 1410113 has been given a new formulation since May 2023,which will allow the free sale to continue.

Existing stocks(with old formulation) fall under the EU regulation and must be removed from the shelves/sold out in the the EU by 23/11/2023 RAVENOL LTC C12++ -Product with article numbers:1410125 shall be removed from the range.

As replacement products for RAVENOL LTC, we recommend RAVENOL ETC C12evo product 1410165 (Concentrated) and 1410167 (-15°C).
