Radiator Antifreeze and Bio-Based Hydraulic Fluids
A Successful Professional Seminar in Regensburg
In June, we conducted a customized corporate seminar at Böttcher Energie GmbH & Co. KG in Regensburg. With ten dedicated professionals and our experienced speaker Rüdiger Krethe we discussed current developments and requirements in the areas of radiator antifreeze and bio-hydraulic fluids. The seminar was already the third in a successful three-year partnership—a sign of mutual trust and high satisfaction.
Thematic Focus Areas
Radiator antifreeze
A key focus of the seminar was on the modern requirements for cooling systems. Participants received a comprehensive overview of:
- Typical Cooling Systems and Their Specific Requirements
- Classification and Properties of Various Types of Coolant
- Special Considerations for Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Their Specific Coolant Requirements
- Standardized Test Methods and OEM Approvals
- Practical Damage Analyses with Images and Test Reports
The insights into the aging mechanisms of radiator antifreeze and their practical implications in real-world applications were particularly valuable.
Bio-hydraulic fluids
A second focus was on innovative developments in the field of environmentally friendly hydraulic fluids:
- EU Eco-Label and DIN ISO 15380 – Current Standards and Updates
- Comparative Evaluation of PAO- and Ester-Based Systems
- Innovative Testing Methods in Detail and Their Practical Relevance
DIN 51502:2026-03 – The new Edition
One particularly timely topic was the revised and significantly expanded DIN 51502. The participants learned about the key changes to the regulations:
- One standard became eight sub-standards – a fundamental restructuring
- Practical Implications and Effects on Practice
- Specific examples of how the new regulations are applied
Personalized Customer Focus
What sets us apart is our ability to tailor our services to individual needs. We tailor our approach precisely to the specific requirements and needs of our customers – not to standardized templates. At Böttcher Energie, that is exactly what we did: we organized a seminar that was perfectly tailored to the participants’ needs and interests.
Our long-standing partnership with Böttcher Energie confirms to us that this approach works. Three seminars in three years speak for themselves: mutual trust, a high level of expertise, and reliable collaboration.
Conclusion
The seminar in Regensburg was once again a complete success. Participants gained practical, high-quality expertise, had the opportunity to exchange ideas, and deepened their knowledge of current standards and developments.
We would like to thank Böttcher Energie GmbH & Co. KG for their trust and our fruitful collaboration, and we are already looking forward to our next joint projects!
