Frost Resistance Data for Antifrogen Tester

The tester allocate reliable frost resistance data, which corresponds to the percentage of Antifrogen L concentration in the solution:

• At -10C, it should be 25%.
• At -15C, the concentration increases to 32%.
• At -19C, 38% is recommended.
• At -24C, a 43% concentration is ideal.
• At -29C, the antifreeze concentration should be 47%.
