How are carboxylate inhibitors used in engine coolant?

Carboxylate inhibitors provide corrosion protection by chemically interacting with the metal surfaces where needed, not by universally laying down layers, which is the case with conventional and hybrid coolants.

What’s the difference between IAT and OAT coolant?

A mix between IAT and OAT coolants, it is designed for new cars. This coolant contains added silicates that increase aluminium protection and prevents corrosion. Additives are also present to prevent rusting. To differentiate these a little easier, HOAT coolants are found in yellow and orange colors.
