Is Car Coolant Conductive?
1 Answers
Antifreeze is primarily composed of ethylene glycol and water, meaning it is an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol and is conductive. Additional information: 1. Replacement interval: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, indicating it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Generally, engine coolant (antifreeze) should be replaced every two to three years to prevent severe engine damage caused by prolonged use. 2. Function: Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. In fact, antifreeze is not only used in winter but should be used year-round.
