How Many Colors Does Antifreeze Come In?
1 Answers
Antifreeze comes in three colors, as its main components are ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is typically green, propylene glycol is red with a hint of orange, and diethylene glycol is blue. The primary function of antifreeze is to ensure the normal and efficient operation of the engine. It circulates within the engine's radiator, providing anti-freeze, anti-boil, anti-rust, and anti-corrosion effects. Most antifreeze products are red or green in color to facilitate leak detection and to distinguish them from other engine fluids, preventing confusion. Precautions for Using Antifreeze: 1. Choose antifreeze according to your vehicle's requirements: Generally, imported vehicles, domestically produced vehicles, and mid-to-high-end vehicles should use permanent antifreeze (lasting 2–3 years), while ordinary vehicles can use direct-use antifreeze. In summer, softened water can be used instead. 2. Select antifreeze based on the number and concentration of vehicles: For organizations or departments with a large and relatively concentrated fleet of vehicles, small-packaged antifreeze concentrate is recommended. This type of antifreeze concentrate offers stable performance and is easy to transport and store due to its small packaging.
