Glycol

Monoethylene glycol and mono propylene glycol are used extensively as antifreeze in closed cooling systems .

Dose concentrations vary dependant upon the level of antifreeze protection required (ºC). Refrigeration units and engine cooling systems use glycol in concentrations up to 60% v/v to maintain coolant fluidity at low temperatures.

Kittiwake water testing kits for Glycol include hydrometers or our hand- held refractometer .

The table below gives a chart of recommended tests.
