ANTIFREEZE (AUTOMOTIVE) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Automotive antifreeze is a liquid additive used in vehicle cooling systems to lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of the coolant. It is typically composed of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol mixed with water. Antifreeze prevents engine overheating and freezing, ensuring optimal performance in various weather conditions. It is toxic and should be handled with care, avoiding ingestion and skin contact. Proper disposal and storage are essential to prevent environmental contamination and ensure safety.
