facts about radiator collant
Coolant radiator fluid that we use either the green or red colored compounds generally contain Ethylene Glycol.
We need to know that the substance actually Ethylene Glycol is highly toxic to the body and the environment, although fortunately Ethylene Glycol compound is easily decomposed in the not so long ago.
Ironically Ethylene Glycol harmless at first glance looks like, let alone color like syrup, and is also odorless.
Waste of Ethylene Glycol coolant radiator is wasted to the supposedly natural will decompose within a few days to a week, while if Ethylene Glycol enters the body through breathing in small doses / skin it will decompose within 48 hours
which will eventually adversely affect the kidneys.
- When filling a new radiator coolant also wear gloves. If the skin is exposed to splashes of radiator coolant flush immediately with water.
- When removing the water coolant from the radiator make sure you use gloves and avoid water-containing coolant radiator on your skin.
- Perspective of collecting waste radiator coolant is toxic and should not be thrown directly into the channel / land. let stand for a few days - a week up to a maximum of Ethylene Glycol decompose, then thrown away by first plus large amounts of water or with a stream of water when disposing.
in the end we as riders need to know about the problem collant radiator cooling system component protection and durability radiator / water pump and water lines on the engine block and the cylinder head so that it does not rust, as well as extend the life of the water pump for coolant quality generally contain lubricants and anti-rust agent .
And we must be careful in dealing with substance coolant to the radiator.
