FAQ

CCLLC (ICEMAN PRK) offers only pre-diluted Koolant. Is using pre-diluted Koolant better than using concentrated antifreeze and adding water to suit?

Yes, using pre-diluted Koolant has a number of advantages. Pre-diluted Koolant ensures maintaining the proper 50/50 blend of Koolant and water. CCLLC uses deionized water in its pre-diluted ICEMAN PRO RACING KOOLANT formulas. The deionizing process removes minerals and other chemicals that can cause scaling and corrosion in engines and insures that the inhibitors in the KOOLANT are not comprimised by the dilution process.

I know that ICEMAN PRC can prevent my engine’s cooling system from freezing in the winter, what else does ICEMAN PRC do for my engine’s cooling system?

ICEMAN PRC performs several functions in addition to providing freeze protection. ICEMAN PRC contains chemicals that inhibit corrosion and scale formation in the engine and cooling system. ICEMAN PRC provides protection against boiling in severe conditions. At atmospheric pressure pure water boils at 212 °F (100 °C) but ICEMAN PRC boils at 223 °F (106 °C). ICEMAN PRC at 15 PSI, in the normal cooling system can have a boil over of up to 260 °F (126 °C). The abily of ICEMAN PRC to operate effectively in those perameters allows maximum heat transfer, which equates to more cooling and that equals more HP

Ethylene glycol and ICEMAN PRC are chemically very similar and can be mixed without harming the cooling system although for the best efficiency this is not advised. Although ICEMAN PRC is less toxic than ethylene glycol mixing the two does not make the ethylene glycol less toxic.

You shouldn't have to add any water to ICEMAN PRK, but if you have no other alternative,water quality is critical. Vehicle manufacturers recommend mixing de-ionized or distilled water with any KOOLANT . Do not use tap water, which may contain minerals that will corrode your cooling system and/or cause scale buildup. Do not use water softened with salts. The water used in ICEMAN PRC de-ionized, which is chemically equivalent to distilled water. It has gone through CCLLAC'S multi-step decontamination and desalting processes and won’t contribute to corrosion or scaling in cooling systems

Engine coolant is a generic term used to describe fluids that remove heat from an engine (Which ICEMAN PRC is most effective at). Antifreeze is a more specific term used to describe products used to provide protection against freezing (ICEMAN PRC also protects against freezing. Many people use these terms interchangeably, as we also do in this FAQ.

What should I do with used antifreeze that I remove from my cooling system, Can I just pour it down the drain or the sewer in the street?

Never pour used Koolant of any type down the drain or in the street. All Glycol Based Koolants (Icluding ICEMAN PRK) are toxic. Used Koolants also picks up heavy metals like lead during use in the engine. These should not be released to the environment. Properly dispose of used KOOLANTS at an appropriate collection center.

ICEMAN PRK demonstrates outstanding cooling capabilities and corrosion prevention performance in all standard industry tests. ICEMAN PRK and it's base materials meet all the requirements of ASTM D5216 (Propylene Glycol Base Engine Coolant), the corrosion prevention requirements of ASTM D 3306, ASTM D 4985, GM 1899, and GM 1825 including ASTM D 1384 (Glassware Corrosion), ASTM D 2570 (Simulated Service), ASTM D 2809 (Cavitations Erosion - Aluminum Pumps), & ASTM D 4340 (Hot Surface Aluminum Corrosion
