Anti freeze has 5 main additives.


1 anti corrosion.

2 water pump seal oil.

3 water wetter sufficant.

4 anti cavation.

5 anti scale water softener.

Also dye and of course ethylene glycol.


50% water and glycol antifreeze has a specific gravity of 1.06 to 1.09.

Maximum is 70% antifreeze.


I was told about the anti cavation additive today. I didn't know.

Methanol antifreeze is not sold in the UK now.
