Application area
Antifreeze is the general name for technical automotive fluids that are used to cool internal combustion engines.
The boiling point of a combined mixture based on ethylene glycol or propylene glycol is higher than the average operating temperature inside the motor, and the freezing temperature is below zero. Due to this difference, the engine does not boil and starts without problems in conditions of negative temperatures, for example, in winter at −10 ..− 40 degrees Celsius.
Benefits
- Hybrid G11 antifreeze is tinted with a green dye of different saturations, less often yellow or turquoise. It is based on the same ethylene glycol with water and inorganic inhibitors, but less active than in "antifreeze."
- Silicates and phosphates in the composition of green antifreeze are less dangerous than the “Soviet” ones, but this class of coolants is rarely allowed for use in engines of the latest generations.
- The phosphate film protects the inner walls of the unit from the corrosive effects of ethylene glycol;
- The boiling point is lower than the operating temperature in engines of vehicles older than 10 years.
