<p>A corrosion-inhibited and stabilized liquid alcohol antifreeze/coolant composition comprising alkali metal borate and alkali metal silicate corrosion inhibitors and at least one precipitation-inhibiting stabilizer selected from the group consisting of: hydrocarbyl aminophosphonic acids, phosphino polycarboxylic acids, polyacrylic acids, and/or the alkali metal salts thereof is described. Ordinarily, insoluble alkali earth metal silicate precipitates detrimental to engine cooling systems tend to form when antifreeze/coolant formulations containing alkali metal borate and silicate corrosion inhibiting compounds are diluted with hard water. However, the stabilized antifreeze/coolant composition of the instant invention resists and inhibits the formation of such insoluble precipitates when diluted with hard water.</p> |
