The two main antifreezes additives are ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Usually used in car engine as coolant and to avoid winter freezing, ethylene glycol has a freezing point of -12,9°C and propylene glycol -59°C. They are both biodegradables and they break down into carbon dioxide and water<ref>NORA, 2021. Antifreeze Information.
