But I don't see what that has to do with its use in coolants. Just because a company is well regarded for one product, doesn't mean all of its products are impeccable. Often when a company gets a good reputation for a good product, they try to cash in on the name with inferior products. I think that what's relevant is: Is there already some wetting agents in most coolants ? If so, is it beneficial or harmful to add more ? If not, why don't coolant manufacturers and auto manufacturers use them ? |
