Red Antifreeze - 5 Year Guarantee 1LTR

How does red anti freeze Work?

Antifreeze works by lowering the freezing temperature of the coolant in your car. Coolant is important because it stops the many different parts in your engine from overheating. Water is a cheap and effective coolant, but it freezes too quickly in cold weather. If the water does freeze, it may cause serious damage to the car’s radiator and other parts. Yet by lowering the freezing temperature of the water, antifreeze helps to keep moving parts at just the right level. This allows these parts to do their job without overheating, which in turn prevents corrosion and prolongs the life of your car. There is a range of different types of antifreeze available in our St Helens shop. For example, modern cars often require antifreeze with different additives to those with older engines.

What is red anti freeze?

Antifreeze is an additive which lowers the freezing point of a water-based liquid and increases its boiling point. An antifreeze mixture is used to achieve freezing-point depression for cold environments and also achieves boiling-point elevation ("anti-boil") to allow higher coolant temperature. Freezing and boiling points are colligative properties of a solution, which depend on the concentration of the dissolved substance.

Because water has good properties as a coolant, water plus antifreeze is used in internal combustion engines and other heat transfer applications, such as HVAC chillers and solar water heaters. The purpose of antifreeze is to prevent a rigid enclosure from bursting due to expansion when water freezes. Commercially, both the additive (pure concentrate) and the mixture (diluted solution) are called antifreeze, depending on the context. Careful selection of antifreeze can enable a wide temperature range in which the mixture remains in the liquid phase, which is critical to efficient heat transfer and the proper functioning of heat exchangers. You can purchase your antifreeze directly from us at our store in St Helens based on Boundary Road St Helens. We can also top up your antifreeze for you while you wait. You can also buy over the phone or even buy online

How to use red anti freeze

CarPlan Premium Red is a concentrated, superior quality ethylene glycol based antifreeze & coolant concentrate incorporating the latest in Organic Acid Technology (OAT). offering winter protection down to -36°C. Premium Red antifreeze uses a synthetic process and additive package which offers superior corrosion resistance over extended service periods, which can also be left in the system for up to a maximum of 5 years. For general UK conditions use a 25% v/v solution (1 part antifreeze to 3 parts water). For severe UK winter conditions use a 33% v/v solution (1 part antifreeze to 2 parts water). For optimum protection down to -36°C use a 50% v/v solution (1 part antifreeze to 1 part water).

How to put this in your vehicle: Drain and flush the cooling system with clean water. If sludge is evident use Carlube Radiator Flush for a complete cooling system preparation. Check all hoses, clips and joints for leakage-tighten or replace where necessary. Remove radiator or expansion tank cap and partly fill the radiator system with clean water. Add antifreeze to give the level of protection required (refer to vehicle handbook for total volume of the cooling system). Replace cap. Run engine until it reaches normal operating temperature to remove any air locks. Switch off engine and allow to cool. Check for and correct any leaks
