going from blue coolant to orange?

does prestone cause issues with silicone hoses? i have 1 coolant hose that was replaced with silicone since i could not find a 90 degree bend reducer in regular rubber.

got an email back from prestone saying " This product is indeed suitable for my application"

iv been reading up some on here and read that this stuff could contain 2-EHA which may be bad for my use since i have one silicone hose and my radiator end tanks are plastic.
not sure if 2-EHA will destroy parts of the cooling system or not though.
