This specification covers the requirements for recycled ethylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate and recycled propylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate for use in automobiles and light-duty vehicles. This standard does not apply to coolant produced from other glycol sources such as medical waste, distillation bottoms, airplane/airport deicers and polyester production waste. This specification provides a procedure for evaluating engine coolant recycling technologies through the recycling of a reference synthetic used engine coolant. It also specifies the chemical, physical, and performance requirements for the recycled glycol base engine coolant concentrate. When used at 40 to 70 volume % in water, the coolant concentrate will function effectively during both winter and summer. This material is intended to provide protection against freezing, boiling, and corrosion in automobile or other light-duty service cooling systems.
