To briefly define antifreeze: Antifreeze is a liquid of great importance in vehicles, just like blood is in the human body.
*What does it do?
There is a liquid in the cooling system of the vehicle and it prevents the vehicle's fluid from freezing, allows the vehicle to warm up quickly and prevents it from boiling.
*What is the raw material of antifreeze?
Alcohol, alcohol and its derivatives. As you know, alcohol is a chemical that freezes at -117 degrees and boils at 78 degrees. Due to this structure, it is useful against freezing and overheating due to its antifreeze properties. It is a liquid that we need to use in vehicles.
Antifreeze is normally a colorless liquid, but it is colored later. The purpose of its coloring is to easily detect and intervene in case of a liquid leak. That's why red, blue and orange are colors. Friends, the cooling system in vehicles requires min. There needs to be 3 liters of antifreeze. In fact, the packages sold in the market generally contain 3 liter packages. In addition, antifreeze has to be changed every year, the chemical properties of antifreeze are lost every year.
Let's talk about antifreeze types, friends, antifreeze is generally and basically divided into two: organic antifreeze and organic antifreeze. Antifreezes with stronger antifreeze properties that do not contain preservatives such as phosphate and silicate in organic antifreeze. Therefore, since it does not contain any preservatives, it has metal corrosive properties. It has the ability to erode and corrode metal. Since alcohol also has acidic properties, it can corrode metals, so organic antifreezes have this feature. Organic antifreezes contain phosphate. Phosphate protects iron, friends. There is also silicate. Silicate also protects aluminum. Due to these protective materials and protective reinforcements, metal abrasions, abrasions on the thermostat in the engine block or on our LPG parts are min. We can even say that it does not happen at all.
*In what situations can antifreeze become the killer of our vehicle?
Friends, we have a lot of experience in our service and we encounter many incidents. The most important problem we are currently facing is the corrosion of the metal parts of the vehicle due to the antifreeze used. An incident happened to us the other day. The cooling/heating mechanism of the LPG system was not working. The metal water tanks in our LPG system have melted and closed due to the antifreeze inside. We came across yet another example the other day. There is a problem with the vehicle. The problem was that the vehicle was giving gas to the radiator. When we examined it, we said that the solution should be sought in the biker. The vehicle went to the motor shop and when the top cover was opened, we saw that the water channels were literally melted, again due to the antifreeze used. At this point, antifreeze can be the killer of your vehicle.
*What do we need to do?
We need to be especially careful about the organic antifreeze we use. Of course, at this point, we see that our services and masters choose organic antifreeze or organic antifreeze based on both their experience and the experience of engine manufacturers. If they choose organic antifreeze, brand antifreezes must be chosen. So, especially Total and Shell antifreezes are successful in this regard. We prefer brand antifreeze and recommend it. Especially for organic antifreezes, I say under the stairs, antifreezes of unknown shape will cause us problems. Again, this risk is less in organic antifreezes because they contain preservatives and these substances prevent metal corrosion. But I recommend brand antifreezes to minimize the risk.
Let's not just mention antifreeze, it is a very important issue, a very vital issue. I emphasize again and again that there will always be quality and branded antifreezes. Have safe driving without any accidents to everyone.
