Does Peak OET Asian Red have 2EHA now?

Since when does North America care what Europe does?

We clearly don't but auto OEM's like to run on global standards whenever possible.

If you do care 2-EHA is also a very toxic substance. Its fatal to fish - leaking cars end up in the water supply. Your not supposed to touch the stuff, which is hard if you have to repair anything cooling system related. Yes, obviously wear nitrile gloves but still.

Ethylene glyccol is toxic. Motor oil is carcinogenic.
When the USA EPA bans 2EHA let us know. Until then I’m not going to worry about it. I guess to each his own.

Canada is working on it https://www.canada.ca/en/environmen...hexanoic-acid-2-ethyl-2-ethylhexyl-ester.html

Reochem owned prestone is the only one that uses it. Careful what you wish for.

Haha. Eight year old document addressing foot lotion and makeup. Don’t drink this stuff!

FWIW, I have Prestone Cor-Guard AMAM coolant in a Toyota Sienna I had to reseal the valley plate(thermostat housing) for several years, plenty of road trips - no coolant leak or loss. I did use Toyota’s super duper expensive RTV to reseal the valley plate.

Someone posted a UCA on factory Toyota pink from a Japanese production car(GX460, assembled at the Tahara plant), and it has <6000ppm of 2-EHA but plenty of sebacate. Both are plasticizers with effects on silicone(RTV) - and valley plates love to leak on the UR-family V8s but it also happens on MZ-family V6s.
