Commonly used antifreeze formula, is the coolant the same as the antifreeze

In daily car maintenance, it is common to add antifreeze to the car. For the car, antifreeze is like a vitamin needed by people. Although it is not necessary, it seems that it cannot be replaced. Some people think that all the wiper water can be prepared by themselves, how to prepare the antifreeze by yourself,What is the commonly used antifreeze formula?

The common antifreeze on the market is glycol water-based antifreeze. The main component is ethylene glycol. Because ethylene glycol has the characteristics of high boiling point and low freezing point, it is particularly resistant to manufacturing.Common antifreeze formula:Deionized water + ethylene glycol + various additives (preservatives, detergents, dyes, defoamers, etc.). The specific formula can refer to the following figure:

A friend asked, thenIs the coolant the same as the antifreeze? In fact, antifreeze can also be called coolant, but coolant cannot be called antifreeze, because antifreeze is a coolant added with special additives, which has an antifreeze effect as well as a cooling effect. However, the pure coolant cannot prevent freezing, so it can't be called antifreeze.soCoolant and antifreeze are different.
