    Red Line 80204 Water Wetter Coolant Additive
    x
    							                        

    Red Line Water Wetter is a unique wetting agent which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 20° F. This is a liquid product which is designed to be added to solutions of antifreeze and water to help improve the heat transfer properties of glycol-based antifreeze. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze. Improves the ability of coolant to wet heat transfer surfaces by 50%.

    • Reduces or eliminates bubbles that form on hot metal surfaces to reduce coolant temperatures by up to 20°
    • Superior heat transfer properties compared to glycol-based antifreeze
    • Compatible with new or used antifreeze (including DEX-COOL and long-life versions) to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems
    • Improves heat transfer and reduces cylinder head temperature
    • Designed for use with all modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze cooling systems
    • Cleans and lubricates water pump seals
    • Reduces cavitation and complexes with hard water to reduce scaling
    • Does not lower cooling system below the thermostatically-controlled temperature
    • 12 fl. oz. bottle treats 12-20 quarts
