Does the high SCA level of ES Coolant affect the solder found in radiators or heater cores?
ES Coolant with its 2.5 units SCA level will not cause solder bloom since the SCA is composed of the reliable combination of nitrite and molybdate, with superior solder protection from the phosphate, molybdate and organic acid inhibitors in ES. Other products on the market may contain very high levels of nitrite-only or nitrite combined with an organic acid. They have been found to cause solder corrosion due to the high levels of these additives.
