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).

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 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.

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).

PG is available (though often only by special order from any full-service Pharmacist. The cost varies from $5 to $8 per pint. Pharmacologically, it's used as a solvent for oral and injectable drugs.... It also has many uses as a chemical solvent, as well as being used in many cosmetics. PG is also available from many feed-stores, as it is used as a feed additive and a medical treatment for livestock.

Raw Water Cooled Engines - Propylene glycol RV antifreeze with a rust inhibitor is approved for use in the raw water cooling system for cold weather storage purposes ONLY. Fresh Water Cooled (closed cooled) Engines ? If your engine is equipped with a closed cooling system, you should always use an appropriate mixture of Sierra Brand propylene glycol antifreeze and water in this system. Make sure to check the mixing ratio on the anti-freeze container.

Propylene glycol is an emollient used in many types of medical care products, including those applied to the skin or taken internally. Propylene glycol is found in medical products such as cough syrups and skin care products. It is safe and imparts unique attributes when formulated into such products.

from cosmetics and household detergents to paints and automotive brake fluids." http://www.dow.com/propyleneglycol/index.htm Incomplete evaluations do not mean that a chemical is free from "human carcinogenic potential." -- barb

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.

Propylene glycol enables our deodorants to be applied smoothly in a stick form and helps to stabilize the base of anti-microbial plant ingredients. We have researched glycerin as a substitute, and found that the glycerin acts as a moisture binder that encourages bacterial growth, which causes odor. Earth Science prides itself on making gentle products that are suitable for a wide range of skin types and sensitivities. Many of our loyal customers consider themselves chemically sensitive.

Engine coolant is a generic term used to describe fluids that remove heat from an engine. Antifreeze is a more specific term used to describe products used to provide protection against freezing. Many people use these terms interchangeably, as we also do in this FAQ. Antifreeze (engine coolant) performs several functions in addition to providing freeze protection. Antifreeze contains chemicals that inhibit corrosion and scale formation in the engine and radiator.

Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are chemically similar. Ethylene glycol has the chemical formula C2H6O2. Propylene has the chemical formula C3H8O2. Ethylene glycol has a slightly higher boiling point than propylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is less expensive to produce and is more widely used. Propylene glycol is less toxic. Both propylene glycol and ethylene glycol have similar biodegradability and will eventually break down into nontoxic byproducts.

Tell your supplier to include corrosion inhibitors to protect copper and iron. Also, make sure they add a colorant to the glycol so that any leakage/spillage can be detected.

Propylene glycol is much different than ethylene glycol. The term "glycol" actually refers to organic chemical structures that contain twin hydroxyl groups on neighboring carbon atoms. This common functional group is present in many different kinds of molecules. For example, all food carbohydrates contain glycol groups. Ethylene glycol is a toxic glycol used extensively in aqueous cooling systems (such as automotive "antifreeze" to prevent freezing in cold weather).

Yes, Met-Tile's fire retardancy and wind resistance are recognized by the Council of American Building Officials, its regional member groups, and other local authorities. Evaluation reports are available on request.

Propylene glycol is an ingredient used in numerous cosmetics and toiletries. It is also used as a powerful solvent to prevent creams from drying out. Propylene glycol is a petrochemical derivative and has been shown to cause allergies.

The results will be less than 1 color block conservative. Ethylene Glycol provides slightly higher freeze protection at like concentrations, and therefore contributes to a lower freeze point protection. Differences of less than 1 color block will result.

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.
