How does HyperKuhl prevent electrolysis and galvanic action between dissimilar metals?
A. Electrolysis occurs when a very small electrical current passes between metals having different electronegativities, such as iron and aluminum. Various contaminants in coolant allow it to function as an electrolyte solution, causing the more electronegative metal (aluminum) to gradually be dissolved. HyperKuhl contains a premium ingredient called molybdate, a form of the semi-precious metal molybdenum. Via a process known as electrocrystallization, molybdate forms a molecular-thick film on the surface of aluminum that inhibits the transfer of electrons, thus almost completely preventing damage from electrolysis.
