Just got a bottle of this stuff. Why do you use propylene glycol, an ingredient in automotive anti freeze, in this product?

I didn't realize that was an ingredient of anti freeze. Thanks for letting me know.

Anti-freeze is ethylene glycol. Propylene glycol is a type of mineral oil produced caused by the fermentation of yeast and carbohydrates. There are many forms of PG, so this very likely is a food safe form.

Did a little research and found this.The government has developed regulations and guidelines for propylene glycol. These are designed to protect the public from potential adverse health effects.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified propylene glycol as "generally recognized as safe," which means that it is acceptable for use in flavorings, drugs, and cosmetics, and as a direct food additive. According to the World Health Organization, the acceptable dietary intake of propylene glycol is 25 mg of propylene glycol for every kilogram (kg) of body weight.top Did a little research and found this.The government has developed regulations and guidelines for propylene glycol.

I agree that it does have Propylene Glycol in its ingredients because it is listed right on the bottle. I looked it up online and it is referred to by one source as a mild carcinogen which was news to me since I am a cancer survivor. I intend to do more research on this. S. Phipps

Definitely not for propylene glycol. Cannot imagine what you are trying to do, in fact your request sounds scary.

I actually haven't used Fast Freeze. I've only bought BioFreeze, but I can say that BioFreeze works really well. Because I wasn't familiar with Fast Freeze, I looked up a comparison on Google, and it contains the same ingredients as BioFreeze, plus vitamin E. It gets really good reviews, and because it's significantly cheaper than BioFreeze, I intend to give it a try soon. I go through a LOT of BioFreeze. I want to thank you for bringing this product to my attention.Good luck.Jim

Beats me. Our boat is in heated storage so I had not thought about the freezing issue. My guess is that the water would freeze out of the gel but how that would affect the performance of the product I don't know.

only used this silicone product to protect automobile door gaskets and lower edge of the vehicle doors from winter freezing and moisture damage. its performed great for years for this purpose. I'm not sure Vaseline is safe for gaskets.

I have not read whather subaru super coolant can be used but very possible . here is links to help you make up your mind and a quote from there telling that any quality ethylene glycol coolant is usable. quote: Always use a high quality ethylene glycol base phosphate type coolant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration.here is the link :http://www.suzuguide.com/suzuki-469.htmlgood luck with it. this coolant is very good though. I just used it to flush and replace mine in my 2011 outback at Grayson Subaru in Knoxville Tennessee last month. I work in a similar garage and have seen the underside of the vitara before servicing one.

I've heard others speaking of adding this to the blue stuff you find at service stations and they end up with an anti-freezing windshield washer with extra cleaning power. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Let us know what you discover either way please.

I would not recommend freezing this bottle, freezing the liquid causes the bottle to expand and then contract would cause damage.

You could use it for if you DO NOT leave any sap in the pump overnight to freeze ! Drain the pump, might even suggest to rinse it since the sap can also harden to sugar. Good luck.

It contains propylene glycol, which is an alcohol. You may want to Google this ingredient if it's a concern of yours.

Just because PG is a component of anti-freeze, does not make it, in and of itself ... anti-freeze. Ask the maker, or look at the MSDS for any uses you may need it for, and how to do so safely.

It works just great for me. Of course, I do not use it like a contractor, but it works great on our tires, and some other things also. To blow out your water lines, you have to adjust the pressure that it does not go over 30-40 lbs. To be on the safe side you should also use glycol. Be sure that it is the safe glycol, and be sure that it is in your traps. If my mind serves me right I think it is diethylene glycol, but check on the back of the container.

If your owners book recommends ethylene glycol, then this is a good choice since it states ethylene glycol on the label. I suppose you could also call the service dept at a nearby Toyota dealer and ask them. Good luck.

I have no idea. The waterpumps I have seen have sealed bearings that are protected from the water/antifreeze. Use at your own risk. Mixing this with antifreeze is a new experiment. Good luck ! ( do you have an extra engine, just in case?)

I do not have this item, but the propylene glycol also has a sweet flavor. It is an FDA approved food additive, but still not something I want to have if possible.

Yes this is a very common application for HydraBarrrier's. As a matter of fact we have many customers that leave HydraBarrier's out throughout the winter months and go through multiple cycles of freezing temperatures. In cases like this we recommend that the HydraBarrier's are not filled to capacity so there is room for expansion as the water freezes. Another alternative is to add an eco-friendly anti-freeze in the water, common brand names include Amsoil or Sierra that use propylene glycol as their active ingredient
