I have ~2 yrs experience with WW on bare and anodized aluminum. It has surfactants and other additives but its principal ingredient is a synthetic oil (Redline's main product I believe).

It will not 'harm' aluminum in any concentration that I used, to 10% or so as the water evaporated from an open system.

It WILL slime the hell out of everything eventually as it comes out of solution, I guess this is its 'protective' function
I dislike it and do not recommend it, but due to the sliming which will eventually shed and float through the system in long tendrils

but it does even stop active corrosion in bare aluminum (pump) castings and machined parts

this is only about WW
