Best Answer

The primary components of most automotive antifreeze are ethylene glycol and water. Good brands will also have some anti-corrosion additives. Nearly all brands will also add some dye to give color to the antifreeze. Pure water and ethylene glycol are both clear and colorless in the color range visible to the human eye.
