How could it be if it freezes. The word anti means against so it appears it is against freezing.

How much antifreeze?

A mix of 50% clean water and 50% straight antifreeze is good for most areas. If you live where the temp goes below -30 degrees F, a mix of 25% clean water and 75% straight antifreeze would be better.

Substitute for engine coolant?

If ambient temperature is higher than 0'C or 32'F you can use water as a temporary substitute but may boil on hot days in traffic. Typical Ethylene/Propylene glycol antifreeze has a boiling point of 188'C (370'F) and a freezing point of -40'C (-40'F). A common blend of 50% water to 50% antifreeze will boil at around 140'C (284'F)
