Winterization

Marine & RV Antifreeze

Non-toxic propylene glycol antifreeze for winterizing boat and RV engines, drinking water systems, and plumbing. We carry several brands in two strengths, rated by burst point: -50°F and -100°F.

Burst Point vs. Freeze Point

Burst point = temperature where a sealed copper pipe filled with undiluted product bursts. Freeze point = temperature where ice crystals begin to form (refractometer reading on the PG scale). Freeze readings vary a few degrees with product age and temperature.

Why burst point matters

A stored engine or water system isn't running, so slush is fine. What matters is that the solution doesn't expand enough to crack pipes, blocks, or fittings. Pick the burst point that covers the lowest temperature you expect.

PVC pipe used in most drinking water systems bursts at about -10°F. If temperatures can drop below -10°F, use the -100°F grade.

  • Non-toxic, USP-grade propylene glycol (PG)
  • Alcohol-free and tasteless — safe for drinking water systems
  • Approved for both water systems and engines
  • Protects aluminum, copper, brass, and solder
  • Won't harm rubber, seals, or hoses
  • Dyed for easy blow-through visibility

Testing tip: read PG antifreeze on the PG scale of a refractometer (not an EG/automotive hydrometer), and shake the container well first. How to read a refractometer
