What is the difference between red and green antifreeze?
1 Answers
The differences between red and green antifreeze are as follows: 1. Different colors. 2. Different compositions. The main component of red antifreeze is propylene glycol; the main component of green antifreeze is ethylene glycol. 3. In addition to red and green, there is also blue antifreeze, whose main component is propylene glycol. Below is an introduction to antifreeze: 1. The basic components of antifreeze are ethylene glycol, distilled water, and corrosion inhibitors. It is colorless by nature. Antifreeze manufacturers add different color pigments to remind car owners of the different types of antifreeze. 2. Generally, antifreeze cannot be mixed. Because the metal materials used in various cooling systems are different, the additives used to meet the needs of different cooling system designs also vary. If mixed, the different formulations of additives will interfere with each other, causing the inhibitors to fail, thus failing to protect the radiator and even leading to radiator corrosion.
