Antifreeze

Antifreeze is a type of chemical used to lower the freezing point of a liquid, typically a coolant or a solution. It is commonly used in automotive engines to prevent the coolant from freezing in cold temperatures, which can cause damage to the engine. Antifreeze is also used in other applications where freezing or low-temperature protection is required, such as in industrial processes, HVAC systems, and refrigeration units.

In the supply class Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties, antifreeze is categorized as a chemical product that falls under the broader supply group of Chemicals And Chemical Products. This supply group encompasses various chemicals used in different industries for a wide range of purposes, including cleaning agents, solvents, adhesives, coatings, and more.

Antifreeze is typically composed of a mixture of water and additives, such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, which help to lower the freezing point and provide additional benefits like corrosion protection and heat transfer enhancement. Different types of antifreeze may have varying compositions and properties, depending on the specific application and requirements.

It's important to note that antifreeze should be handled and disposed of properly, as it can be toxic to humans, animals, and the environment. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations when using and disposing of antifreeze products.
