Nowadays there is a new long lasting effected anti-freeze solution on the market, what is
its true facts? The main components of the prolonged action anti-freeze is still the glycol.
The glycol features of anti-freeze and anti-boiling, which make it a necessary component
for the solution and is the key factor to keep the characteristic of heat-conduction of the
solution. The differences between the traditional and the long lasting effected
glycol-based solutions are as follows:
Characteristic
The traditional green solution
The long lasting effected orange solution

Green or green-blue
Orange or red

Metal anticorrosion agents
(e.g. tolyltriazole) +
pho silicate.
Organic salts as Mono-carboxylate and
dicarboxylate(e.g. sebacic acid and octoic
acid) + Tolyltriazole

Traditional green coolant

4 to 5 years
From the above table we can see that the differences between them which lie in the
anticorrosion agents. Since the long lasting effected anti-freeze solution is made up of
organic acid salts, so it can make the chemistry properties more stable and the effect
longer and better.

The five functions of the high quality anti-freeze solution
1. Anti-corrosion
Anti-freeze solution contains a system of excellent and lasting corrosion inhibitor, which
achieve certain balance with the metal through various agents and form a protection film
on the metal surface; moreover, it can strip the existing corrosion on the cooling system
to prevent further corrosion. Tests show that qualified anti-freeze solution can be 50 to
