Red Line (80204 Water Wetter - Coolant Additives - 12 Oz Bottle

Product Information

Compatible with new or used antifreeze (including DEX-COOL® and long-life versions) to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems Since WaterWetter® has no readily measurable benefit, should you consider putting this in your car? That depends on your personality and your relationship with your car.

It might be helpful to explain the mechanism by which "water wetter" improves the cooling system. Then there's a better chance of deciding if it's going to help the cooling in a particular situation. Water Wetter from Red Line is designed to help control overheating and increase coolant system efficiency by doubling the wetting ability of water. It improves heat transfer from the engine to the coolant system reducing running temperatures by up to 20° . Water Wetter works by reducing the surface tension of the water/coolant mixture. Some basics -- water is the most efficient coolant you can use in your engine. Water alone will transfer more heat faster than anti-freeze will. The problem with water is that it boils at 212 deg. F. You can increase that temperature somewhat by adding pressure (the pressure cap on your system), but it still boils at a relatively low temperature. The other problem with water is that it is corrosive. Also, it freezes at 32 deg. F. Not good things for cars. Water wetter will reduce the potential "hot spots" in an engine where water alone can actually vaporize without some assistance.

About Redline

Reduces or eliminates bubbles or vapor barrier that form on hot metal surfaces to reduce coolant temperatures by up to 20° Before I reveal the results of my test, let’s look at Redline's claims for WaterWetter®'s effects on your cooling system: According to most water wetter users, it is normal, as they commented on a thread about what should be preferred to be used. The customers said they added antifreeze with the water wetter for the intercooler system to stop foaming. The best way to use antifreeze is to combine it with pure water instead of water wetter, but both will suffice. Is water wetter better than engine ice? Powerful anti-corrosion agents are also a property of Water Wetter and this mixes with all anti-freezes and lowering engine temperature by up to 20 degrees C. One 355ml bottle treats 13-16 litres of coolant. Water Wetter is added to the radiator / expansion tank.

Causes buildup of sludge/gunk

Red Line (80204) Water Wetter is one of the best coolant additives for its cutting-edge technology. It not only ensures the efficiency of the engine but also keeps the engine cool. Reduces or eliminates bubbles or vapor barrier that form on hot metal surfaces to reduce coolant temperatures by up to 20°F So, we can say that coolant additive does not help to control the overheating process but also helps to keep warm the engines from freezing. Benefits of Coolant Additives Rust and corrosion protection allows for use of straight water in racing or reduced antifreeze levels in warm climates Red Line WaterWetter will provide the proper corrosion inhibition for all common cooling system metals, including aluminum, cast iron, steel, copper, brass, and lead. Water has twice the heat transfer capability when compared to 50% glycol Antifreeze / Coolant in water. Most passenger automobiles have a cooling system designed to reject sufficient heat under normal operating conditions using a 50/50 glycol solution in water. However, in racing applications, the use of water and WaterWetter will enable the use of smaller radiator systems, which means less frontal drag, and it will also reduce cylinder head temperatures, even when compared to water alone, which means more spark advance may be used to improve engine torque. Type Dilution:I posted this in the Pettit Super Charger post, but I'd like to expand it and clarify for the general population. There are multiple methods to control corrosion. These methods help the engine to be free from corrosion.
