Each situation will vary depending upon the specific water-hardness, type of machining application. As a general starting point, for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, (aluminum, brass, steel or stainless) a concentration of 8 - 10% is used to establish a baseline. Gradually decrease the dilution by adding make up coolant until the optimum concentration is found for your particular application and situation.

All Liquid Ice ingredients are engineered to be environmentally responsible, and all our ingredients are highly biodegradable according to EPA, DIN, ASTM, or standard methods and are harmless to the environment.

NO! Under most circumstances, Liquid Ice HP, HPX or VP Coolants will not build up foam in your coolant tank or Sump. Under high pressure (200 - 1000 PSI), aeration will cause it to look white instead of its normal clear, colorless appearance. This is perfectly normal, and the coolant will quickly revert back to the fully liquid state within a matter of seconds.

Liquid Ice Coolants are and safe to operators. It does not create mists, vapors or odors. Liquid Ice Coolants contain no hazardous or toxic materials.

YES! Unlike synthetics or semi-synthetics, Liquid Ice Coolants does not contain any alcohols, glycols or solvents of any kind which dry out seals and agressively attack painted surfaces. Therefore it is safe for use on your expensive machine tools.

Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant TM is pre-mixed with de-ionized water. The process of de-ionizing water eliminates all of the impurities that can do harm to your cooling system. Regardless if you are using tap, bottled, distilled, spring or R/O (reverse osmosis) waters, it can still contain minute particles of iron, magnesium, rust, lime and calcium. Many of these waters also contain chemicals, such as chlorine, fluorides and acids.

YES, Liquid Ice Coolant will greatly improve sawing of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Call us for application specific information.

Liquid Ice Corporation is a North Carolina Company dedicated to producing "State of the Art" metal working fluids for today's machining requirements. Liquid Ice Coolants are an alternative to oil-based or semi-synthetic coolants. Our fully water-soluble coolants have superb cooling properties and excellent lubricity.

Liquid Ice Coolants have been formulated to provide clear, clean chip flow, with no stickiness on machines, parts or chips. The corrosion inhibitors provide the optimum in tarnish and corrosion prevention on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Best of all, Liquid Ice Coolants will not foam.

All of Liquid Ice Corporation products are sold through local distributors. We are building our network and expect to be available at a distributor near you very soon. You can contact Liquid Ice Corporation at 800-472-5568 for the name of the dealer nearest you, or to request a sample.

Yes. However we do recommend the use of an additive free filter on all coolant systems to remove all solid and liquid contamination. Coolant system maintenance should always be done as a complete package to be most effective.

We recommend you never mix ANY TYPE of coolant and antifreeze products. One reason is that propylene glycol and ethylene glycol do not mix well together. Another reason is that just because the base fluid may be similar, other additives and ingredients may not be. Just as you would not mix oils, and for the same reasons, you should not mix coolants and antifreezes.

Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant tm utilizes a base fluid called Propylene Glycol. This base fluid has been proven to be relatively harmless to plants, animals and the environment, while being an excellent base fluid for an engine coolant. We take this non-toxic base, along with various inhibitors and dilute it with the most pure water possible, Deionized Water.

Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant TM has an excellent high heat capacity and thermal conductivity characteristic, which in testing, has proven to exceed the abilities of most (EG) coolants. It provides efficient & effective engine heat transfer. Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant TM is a proven product, with added environmental benefits to assure the longevity of your engine, and the world we play in.

Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant TM is formulated with propylene glycol (PG). As compared to the ethylene glycol used in most other brands, propylene glycol is far less toxic and safer for children, pets, and wildlife. Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant TM is also phosphate free (phosphates kill the smallest forms of life in the environment in addition to trees and plants).

Which coolant maintenance set-up to use is entirely determined by user preference. When properly installed, pre-charged and maintained, both filters with SCA's and liquid SCA's used with additive free filters will offer the coolant system identical levels of protection.

Propylene Glycol, the base fluid of Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant TM, meets or exceeds all ASTM, SAE, Government and Manufacturers standards. It also has NO statutes or health warnings from the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), CERCLA (Superfund), Superfund Amendments & Reauthorization Act (SARA), Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA), American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), Federal Health & Safety Administration (FHSA).

The tank life of Liquid Ice Coolants is excellent, but varies based with machine usage. With proper maintenance by the user and good "housekeeping" practices , it will last for 5-7 months in a stand alone machine and is resistant to bacteria and fungus growth in the product.

Each GLAD® Ice Cube Bags Pocket holds one tablespoon of liquid, so you know how many you need for a recipe. They are easy to pop out individually or in a row of four, or you can pull the top, bottom and the sides to release a whole bag of Ice Cubes. They won’t evaporate in frost-free refrigerators and you can even freeze vegetable, fish or chicken stock.

Recent tests have indicated that diluted smallpox vaccine is just as effective in providing immunity as full-strength vaccine. (updated Dec 9, 2002)
