According to Fuchs (a very well respected German Company), ProCCA is a corrosion inhibitor.

This product is a surfactant just like "Water Wetter" or "Purple Ice". I find it to be preferable to the aforementioned products in that a lower concentration can be used e.g. a 1% solution of ProCCa is recommended Vs a 3.125% solution of Water Wetter.

For best cooling results (in an environment above the freezing point) it is always preferable to maintain the highest ratio of water to additives possible. Additionally, the product has a relatively pleasant smell and for the aesthetically minded, it is blue.

The down side is that it is relatively expensive, but I only paid $12.00 for 8 ounces of fluorescent dye Vs the +/- $15.00 that is commonly charged for 1 ounce by on line shops...so I do not feel too bad about the overall cost of the coolant mixture.

Cheers!
