What are the uses of antifreeze?
1 Answers
Antifreeze serves the following purposes: 1. Used in the cooling systems of various vehicles and mechanical equipment, it has multiple functions such as antifreeze, anti-boil, anti-corrosion, and anti-scale. 2. Made with distilled water and containing anti-scale additives, it not only prevents scale buildup but also has descaling capabilities. 3. It prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the vehicle is parked in cold winter conditions. 4. Ordinary water is the biggest enemy of cooling systems and engines. Antifreeze provides antifreeze protection in winter, anti-boil protection in summer, and year-round anti-scale and anti-corrosion properties. 5. Antifreeze has anti-corrosion functions. The engine's cooling system includes several metals such as steel, aluminum alloy, cast iron, copper, and solder used in radiator welding. The deionized water and appropriate additives in antifreeze can prevent various types of corrosion.
