Get the Power with Nitrox Steel Weld - This unique anti-rust formula has been specially developed ...Get the Power with Nitrox Steel Weld - This unique anti-rust formula has been specially developed to permanently repair and seal most leaks in head gaskets, radiators, cylinder heads, freeze plugs, heater cores and engine blocks. Once added to the radiator tank, Nitrox Steel Weld will get to work stopping leaks fast, whilst also staying active to seal any further leaks. The powerful formulation mixes with ALL types of anti-freeze already in the cooling system, so no need to flush out. Contains anti-rust inhibitors to help prolong the life of radiators. Directions: shake the bottle for 1 minute and slowly pour Nitrox Steel Weld into the radiator or expansion tank. Run the engine for a few minutes until it reaches operating temperature and allow the sealer to circulate around the cooling system to seal any leaks. This bottle is sufficient for two treatments for cooling systems up to 12 litres capacity. Not recommended for Rover 825/827 models. Keep container upright at all times.
The Nitrox Steel Weld (NXS500) is a versatile chemical sealant designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIY mechanics looking to address persistent coolant leaks. It is ideal for permanently sealing leaks in head gaskets, radiators, cylinder heads, freeze plugs, heater cores, and engine blocks without requiring professional shop intervention. While it offers a convenient "pour-and-go" solution that works with existing anti-freeze, users should note it is not compatible with Rover 825/827 vehicle models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Nitrox Steel Weld works with all standard anti-freeze. It is safe for use on most vehicle engine blocks, but strictly prohibited for use in Rover 825/827 models.

Maintenance: Because this product acts as a permanent sealant, it is recommended to monitor your coolant levels after the first few drives following application to ensure the system is pressurized and sealed correctly.
