Methanol(otherwise known as wood alcohol) and ethylene glycol are the two toxic components in antifreeze. Methanol and ethylene glycol are both acted upon by alcohol dehydrogenase in the cell cytoplasm. This converts these molecules into toxic compounds like formaldehyde and formic acid. Before the advent of fomepizole (an alcohol dehydrogenase blocker), alcohol was given as a treatment for antifreeze ingestion because it competed with methanol and ethylene glycol for alcohol dehydrogenase. Methanol can cause blindness and death. Ethylene glycol crystallizes within the kidney and can cause renal failure and death. Hope that helps.

What is the viscosity of antifreeze?
The specific heat of antifreeze varies greatly with temperature and the percent concentration of ethylene glycol (antifreeze). At room temperature, 100 percent concentration of ethylene glycol will have a specific heat of about .59 to .58. This value varies greatly from the specific heat of water. Most commercial antifreeze is about 95 % concentration of ethylene glycol.
