Antifreeze - Pana Engine Oil
First, you should know that antifreeze is a kind of coolant additive which minimizes the freezing point of water based liquids. Antifreeze is used in the cooling system of some engines and its main function is to cool the engine. In addition to depressing the freezing point, this product significantly increases the boiling point of the liquids.
A-Z of antifreeze:
First, you should know that antifreeze is a kind of coolant additive which minimizes the freezing point of water based liquids. Antifreeze is used in the cooling system of some engines and its main function is to cool the engine. In addition to depressing the freezing point, this product significantly increases the boiling point of the liquids.
Antifreeze is a product that can be found in the retail stores. Besides depressing the freezing point, this product also increases the boiling point of the liquids. In other words, antifreeze can protect water containers and pipes from cracking.
Main ingredients of antifreeze:
Antifreeze is produced by mixing the following materials:
- Ethylene glycol
- Propylene glycol
- Other antifreezes
Additives in antifreeze:
This product contains the following additives that have key role in promoting its quality:
- Sodium molybdate
- Disodium phosphate
- Sodium silicate
- Denatonium benzoate
- Dextrin
Different types of antifreeze:
It should be noted that this product is of various types as following:
- Oil-based antifreeze
This type is the most common coolant and its quality is greater than other types of the antifreezes.
- Alcohol-based antifreeze
This product is composed of some organic substances that have excellent impact on reducing the freezing point of the coolant.
The application and advantages of antifreeze:
This product has many applications and advantages with the most important ones being as bellow:
-
Preventing liquids in the engine from freezing at cold weather
-
Preventing liquids in the car engine and the radiator from boiling at warm weather
-
Reducing the sediments in the radiator which finally reduces the engine temperature
-
Inhibition of corrosion and oxidation of metal components of the engine (this is a common problem for most cars)
Important points around antifreeze:
One important point is that this product is mixed with water and this doubles its application. Generally when used alone, this product is of poor capacity protecting the engine from freezing and distributing heat within the cooling system. Therefore, it recommended using this product in mixed form.
It is noteworthy that the antifreeze never foams and once you observe any foam in your radiator, empty the radiator first and then check all components and pipes connected to the radiator. Foaming is mainly dependent on the quality and ingredients of the product.
One important point around antifreeze is that this product is often green in color. However, the color and quality of the product are not interrelated and therefore, color of the antifreeze does not ensure its quality.
Note: some believe that the presence of foam in the radiator may indicate the leakage of air into the suction pump system, which indeed necessitates careful inspection of the engine.
Necessary principles for using antifreeze:
- First, the expiry date of the product should be carefully checked. Expired product is of relatively low quality which may cause severe damages to the body and other components of the car.
- The product should be used accurately in order to improve performance
- Before purchase, it is recommended to obtain adequate information about the brand of the product in order to get the excellent quality antifreeze
Note: with the current advances in the science and technology, the antifreeze industry has also considerably changed. Today, the antifreeze is produced and supplied to the market in various colors. Important point is that despite variability in the color, same ingredients are present in all antifreezes.
Generally, the quality of this product varies with the brand. It should be noted that the shelf life of this product is 1-2 years depending mainly on the brand, quality, and efficiency of the product.
