Can Coolant of the Same Color Be Mixed?
1 Answers
Whether coolants of the same color can be mixed depends on the specific situation: 1. If two coolants have the same color and their main components are almost identical, they can be mixed. (Especially coolants of the same brand and quality, as their formulations are generally consistent, can be mixed.) 2. If the colors are the same but the main components differ significantly, they absolutely must not be mixed. Relevant information about coolant is as follows: 1. Currently, there are mainly three colors of coolant available in the market. The main components of coolant are ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is generally green, propylene glycol is orange-red, and diethylene glycol is blue. Coolant itself is a colorless and transparent liquid. The reason these coolants are made into bright colors is mainly for easy identification and distinction by adding some dyes. 2. If coolants of different colors are mixed together, the substances in the coolant will react. For example, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol will react under high temperature and pressure to form a gum base.
