Note that the 40% improvement was the BIGGEST improvement seen, and this was observed when using ethylene glycol as a base, not water.

As I understand it, this technology is more suited to providing lesser coolants with thermal characteristics closer to that of water without many of water's inherant problems, corrosion for example.
