Actually,
I'm calling it an untested claim. The remark wasn't about the product, but about the review.
As posted earlier:
Contains:
Dihydrogen Oxide, [Water]
Xanthan Gum, [CP Kelco: Keltrol-T &/or Keltrol-T622]
1-Dodecanol [Lauryl Alcohol]
1,2-Propanediol [Propylene Glycol]
1,2,3-Propanetriol, [Glycerin]
I personally don't have a problem with the denomination for water, I'm also familiar with MSDS.
The issue we have is that according to a couple of articles on coolants, including this one:
http://www.procooling.com/articles/h...er_coolin1.php
A solution of water and glycol (ethylene or propylene) "provides an initial benefit, but breaks down over time. ", as stated by Brian.
The article further elaborates:
"Some cheaper brands have no buffering chemical, which means that they break down sooner. Check the pH level and change before it drops. Some antifreeze solutions have silicates added to prevent aluminum from being corroded."
So what we see is a solution that *should* degrade, but since no one has enough knowledge of chemistry, we don't see where and how this degradation is prevented.
Out of the remaining elements:
Xanthan Gum, [CP Kelco: Keltrol-T &/or Keltrol-T622]
1-Dodecanol [Lauryl Alcohol]
1,2,3-Propanetriol, [Glycerin]
one of these surely does something, right?
Otherwise, I certainly admire the idea of a maintenance free coolant, but I don't see the info to support the claim. You have my email address.
