TYPES OF COOLANT
1.TYPE A COOLANT - Water + Inhibitors+Glycol Content
Type “A” has an Anti-Freeze Anti-Boil component such as Ethylene Glycol or Propylene Glycol that raises the boiling point of the water and lowers the freezing point. There are different types of inhibitor packages used in Type "A" Anti-Freeze Anti-Boil coolants and different dosages of glycol content depending on the application.
2.TYPE B COOLANT - Water + Inhibitors
Type “B” typically has no Anti-Freeze Anti-Boil performance and are essentially inhibitors only. There are different types of inhibitor formulations used in Type B coolants. Not all are compatible with one another.
