No, it is fairly inert, so should not cause any damage.

Propylene glycol for heating and cooling systems is often available with additives to increase corrosion resistance, biocide for killing mould and bacteria growths and descaler for removing calcium carbonate deposits.

See galxc.co.uk/glycol-water-treatments for some of the different types available commercially.

Why would water boil out of radiator yet the car does not heat up?

Three possibilities: 1. The heater is plugged with rust. 2. The radiator cap is not maintaining adequate pressure in the system. Raising the pressure prevents boiling. Rad caps contain springs that weaken with use. 3. The coolant contains too little antifreeze (too much water) and the thermostat is stuck open. Flush the system, replace the thermostat and rad cap and refill the system with 70% propylene glycol and 30% water. (Not ethylene glycol - when it spills it poisons animals.) If the problem persists replace the heater core.
