soy coolant

Soy Antifreeze-Coolant is a premium quality Soybean (SB) based coolant which provides engine protection comparable to that provided by premium brand conventional ethylene glycol (EG) based coolants.
In the four key areas of engine protection freeze protection, boilover protection, corrosion prevention, and heat transfer Soy Antifreeze provides outstanding performance.
But, because of its formulation, Soy Antifreeze is less toxic and safer than ethylene glycol coolants to children, pets, and wildlife in case of spills, leaks, boilovers, or careless disposal.

Two ounces of ethylene glycol antifreeze can kill a dog, one teaspoon can be lethal to a cat, and two tablespoons can be hazardous to children. Ethylene glycol (EG), the main ingredient of all major antifreeze brands, has long been known to be poisonous. When ingested, ethylene glycol converts to oxalic acid which damages the kidneys and can cause kidney failure and death.
According to the Annual Reports of the American Association of Poison Control Centers covering 1991 to 1994, about 3,400 poisonings related to ethylene glycol occur each year with about 20% of these incidents reported among children under six.

In a recent survey conducted among veterinarians by a professional research firm, 96% of the vets surveyed felt that antifreeze poses a risk to pets, 95% indicated that they have warned clients about the dangers of antifreeze, and 66% had encountered at least one known or suspected antifreeze poisoning within the previous year. Animal welfare experts estimate that tens of thousands of companion and wild animals die annually from ethylene glycol antifreeze poisoning.

The beauty of it is, you can woik on your car and have some chinese takeout at the same time without having to try to tear those little soy packets with your greasy hands. Just get the chopsticks out of your toolbox, drain some soy sauce out of the the radiator, and let your Siamese Cat that's rubbing against your grimy overalls join you and enjoy a proper meal before it becomes a chinese takeout dinner itself.
