Antifreeze, translated from English into Russian, literally means "antifreeze". When applied to liquid substances, it indicates a coolant that does not freeze at low temperatures. "Antifreeze A-40" is a domestic production of antifreeze, produced in our country since the times of the USSR.
Necessary
- - antifreeze "Tosol 40A",
- - antifreeze G-12.
Instructions
Step 1
Despite the fact that antifreeze and "Tosol" are the same, they have significant differences in the content of chemical elements.
Step 2
Traditional Russian antifreeze brand "Tosol" consists of inorganic substances that prevent corrosion of metals and rubber products. Service life no more than two years. It is highly not recommended for use in cooling systems in engines of imported cars. After overcoming the temperature of 105 ° C, it loses its properties. Very poisonous and environmentally harmful. While working with it, avoid contact with the skin of the hands and other parts of the body.
Step 3
Currently, the most popular on the market is carboxylate antifreeze of foreign production G-12, which is produced with the content of crabic acid salts. It retains its properties at temperatures up to +135? С. A protective anticorrosive layer of this coolant is formed only in places of damage to metals, and not over the entire surface of the water jacket, as in Tosol, which compares favorably with the latter. The service life of the G-12 has been increased to five years.
Step 4
The latest development of Western engineers was the G-13 carboxylate antifreeze with the addition of polypropylene glycol. The release of such a coolant is dictated mainly by environmental safety requirements and design features of modern high-tech motors.
