Antifreeze is a substance which is put in to a solvent, for instance water, in order to lower the freezing point of the solvent. It is important to consult your local mechanic before attempting to use antifreeze which is highly toxic.
In general you would need to mix the antifreeze with distilled water at one part antifreeze to every part water. Doing so will give you freeze prevention down to roughly minus 34 degrees in addition to boil-over fortification up to about +265 degrees. It is important not to use pure antifreeze in your cooling system if the mixture doesn't have a minimum of 30 percent water.
Typically you will find Antifreeze is put in water which is in the cooling system of a given internal-combustion engine. This is done such that it is able to cool below 32 degrees F, without the water actually freezing. Some of the important uses of anti-freeze for your engine cooling system are preventing corrosion, preventing vibration damage, averting overheating and of course preventing freezing.
