Default Liquid Chill Coolant

Has anyone heard of this stuff or looked into its application with the Disco?

I've never heard of any coolant that cooled better than pure water. But 50/50 mix of water and coolant inhibits corrosion. Some claim that coolant mixtures raise the boiling point, but I believe pressurization alone will raise the boiling point to well over what would be safe for the engine.

Oh no this product claims to be far superior than both water in terms of cooling AND pressure for raising the boiling point. I should have attached the product specs in 1st post. Obviously nobody is familiar with this product so maybe discussing here can help others who are trying to improve the coolant system. I wouldn't stake all of the credit on Amazon reviews for sure. Most of these people are clueless and have other major problems with their coolant system from a mechanical perspective, so don't let that bias you.

It contains POATs whereas DexCool is an OAT product so that threw me off, but claim is that none of the properties will clog.

Short discussion on the product first of this year.
https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...il-spec-77158/

binvanna was correct to say 100% water will run cooler than typical 50/50 mix and verified myself in the D2. LC may be able to run a couple degrees cooler than glycol, unlikely to be cooler than water, may be environmentally friendly and rather costly.

Snake oil for tree huggers anyone?
