A high-temperature filtered valve core developed by International Marketing Inc. now is available in Schrader-Bridgeport’s new premium quality valve stem. It helps maintain proper tire inflation by protecting the valve core seat from contaminants inside the tire.
The stainless steel filter attached to the end of the valve core seats firmly into the base of the valve stem housing, protecting the valve core seat from contaminates inside the tire, the company says.
Schrader-Bridgeport’s new valve stem with IMI AirX filtered valve core is now available through Myers Tire Supply.
The Schrader-Bridgeport line of valve hardware uses only high quality EPDM rubber and premium non-porous brass that meets and exceeds all Tire & Rim Association standards and SAE requirements.

Extended Life Coolant
Fleetguard Inc. is introducing a line of chemicals, coolants, extenders and converters under the new name ES Optimax, the first of which is ES Optimax Extended Life Coolant. This product is borate-free, phosphate-free and silicate-free and uses patented organic acid inhibitors to provide superior wet sleeve liner pitting and corrosion protection for all cooling system parts. Benefits include lower maintenance and suitability for all diesel, gasoline and natural gas engines, the company says.
ES Optimax Extended Life Coolant is an organic acid-based formula that provides total cooling system protection for 600,000 miles of on-road use (four years or 12,000 hours of off-highway use). Under normal conditions, the only maintenance required is the addition of ES Optimax Extender and the installation of a new ES Optimax coolant filter at approximately 300,000 miles of on-road use (two years or 6,000 hours of off-highway use).
The coolant can be used in standard maintenance programs, as well as extended service environments, and meets or exceeds all fully formulated heavy duty and light duty low silicate specifications by major engine manufacturers and maintenance organizations. It is available in ethylene glycol and environmentally friendly propylene glycol formulations and in several packaging options including a premix (with 50 percent de-ionized water) and concentrate. Both are available in gallon, drum and bulk quantities.
