jäätymissuojaaineen
Jäätymissuoja-aine, commonly known as antifreeze, is a substance added to liquids to reduce their freezing point. In the context of automotive coolants, its primary function is to prevent the engine's cooling system from freezing in cold temperatures, which could cause severe damage to components like the radiator and engine block. While reducing the freezing point, it also raises the boiling point of the liquid, thus improving the cooling efficiency during hot weather and preventing the coolant from boiling over.
The most common type of antifreeze is based on ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. These glycols are
Antifreeze also contains a package of additives designed to protect the cooling system's components from corrosion
