What is an additive

Everyone has heard about antifreeze additives, but not everyone knows what it means. This post will talk about what additives are and what they are used for in cooling liquids.
An additive is a preparation added to fuel, lubricants, and other substances in small quantities to improve their performance. Additives inhibit corrosion or oil oxidation.
Anti-corrosion additives are chemical compounds that alter the solution’s undesirable properties.

Pure glycol, ethylene glycol, is a chemically active substance with a devastating effect on the rubber and metal parts of the equipment. Additives slow down corrosion processes and extend the life of equipment and engineering systems. An antifreeze should not foam; that is why anti-foam additives are added.
Use high-quality antifreezes. Remember: replacing car parts is much more expensive than a branded additive for the cooling system.
