Radiator cleaner has a chemical that is a mild acid. A person can make a less caustic radiator cleaner by using a product called Sal Soda. Sal Soda is found in the laundry detergent aisle of most grocery stores. After draining the radiator, put in 2 cups of Sal Soda, and fill with water. Put the cap on the radiator and run the vehicle for about 10 miles. Then drain and refill with the appropriate antifreeze.

Automotive engine coolant is basically water with the addition of a little ethylene glycol (antifreeze) to prevent the water freezing in winter and splitting the engine block [Note the amount of antifreeze must be in relation to the amount of water in the system in order to deliver the correct protection. Water and antifreeze have a eutectic melting point]. Some manufacturers also mix in proprietary additives to differentiate their products.

Is drain cleaner corrosive?

Drain cleaner is extremely corrosive - that's why there are labels on all the bottles warning you to not let the chemicals inside come in contact with your skin or eyes. Chemical drain cleaners are solvents, meaning they are designed to dissolve anything they come in contact with, whether you want them to or not. If you're planning on using a chemical drain cleaner to knock a clog out of the drain, try to avoid drain cleaners that you use lye or acid - these are the most corrosive chemicals around and can cause serious harm if not used carefully!
