Is Antifreeze Corrosive?
1 Answers
Antifreeze is corrosive. Here are some precautions for using antifreeze: 1. Do not mix different types of antifreeze. It is best not to mix different models of antifreeze to avoid chemical reactions, sedimentation, or bubble formation, which can damage rubber seals and lead to water leakage at the water pump seal and welds. In severe cases, it may cause engine damage. 2. Avoid direct contact with antifreeze. Antifreeze and its additives are toxic substances, so do not touch them with your hands. After use, store them in a safe place. Unused antifreeze should not be reused, and waste antifreeze must be disposed of strictly according to relevant regulations to prevent chemical reactions. 3. Necessary checks before refilling. Before adding antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection of the engine cooling system. If there are any leaks, repair them promptly before refilling. 4. Avoid adding water to antifreeze. If tap water is added to the cooling system, it may freeze in winter, affecting the normal operation of the cooling system and even causing cracks in the engine or radiator.
