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 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. See similar questions...

The vacuum distillation recycling method is the only method accepted by original equipment manufacturers. Some processes return the antifreeze to the customer with SCA's already added. Before installing any products on the systems using recycled antifreeze, you must know whether it contains any SCA's. If it does, an additive free filter is all that is needed until the first service interval is reached. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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). See similar questions...

Over a period of time, rust and corrosion will appear in the cooling system. Long term, this will reduce the life of cooling system components such as the radiator, water pump and coolant hoses. See similar questions...

Most manufacturers recommend a two-year interval. Some vehicles now have a long life coolant, which can last for four years. See similar questions...

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). See similar questions...

Yes, just like when changing to a new pet food. You will need to gradually introduce a new litter product to your pet. Timeframe will vary depending on type of litter so check the package for appropriate directions. See similar questions...

Use a 50% solution of glycol based antifreeze solution to water for a system that must operate at very low temperatures. If only freeze protection is needed, a 20-25% solution is usually adequate because the more dilute solution forms a non rigid slush that will not flow well but will not damage the tubing. See similar questions...

We use chemically treated test strips (similar to ones used in spa/swimming pools) that change colour depending on the condition of the coolant. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

If you mix antifreeze with distilled water at the ratio of one part antifreeze to one part water, you will have freeze protection down to –34°F and boil-over protection up to 265°F (if using 15 PSI pressure cap). Never use concentrated antifreeze in a cooling system without adding water. At least 40% of the mixture should be water. See similar questions...

Yes, but remember to fire at the higher temperature then. You will need to be consistent if you want to use the lower firing temperature - in that case, use 650 clay, paste and syringe together. See similar questions...

Makari does not recommend using other brand products in coherence with the Makari regimen. Also, it is not recommended to physically mix two products or apply one on top of the other (except for the Skin Repairing & Clarifying Serum). When using two products, apply one in the morning and one in the evening. Furthermore, we recommend using the products only once a day. See similar questions...
