Sierra Antifreeze & Accessories: Safer Cooling System Protection
When it comes to protecting an engine's cooling system without the toxicity risks of conventional antifreeze, Sierra stands in a category of its own. As a brand under the PEAK family — widely recognized as the pioneer and market leader in the safer propylene glycol (PG) antifreeze category — Sierra has built its reputation on one foundational difference: choosing propylene glycol over ethylene glycol as its base chemistry.
Antifreeze and coolant accessories from Sierra are formulated with PG rather than ethylene glycol, the base for traditional antifreeze. Because of its PG formula, Sierra antifreeze is less toxic and therefore safer for people, pets, and wildlife than conventional antifreeze — a meaningful advantage for households with children or animals, and for environmentally sensitive applications like marine or outdoor use.
What Sets Sierra Antifreeze Apart
Sierra's propylene glycol antifreeze isn't just a "safer" alternative that compromises on performance. It delivers excellent engine protection against freeze-up, boil-over, and corrosion, while maintaining critical heat transfer properties throughout the cooling system. Sierra antifreeze demonstrates outstanding corrosion prevention performance in all standard industry tests, meeting the requirements of ASTM D5216 (Propylene Glycol Base Engine Coolant) as well as the corrosion prevention requirements of ASTM D3306, ASTM D4985, and GM specifications including ASTM D2809 for cavitation erosion corrosion on aluminum pumps.
For marine applications, Sierra also produces a Synthetic Blend Antifreeze line that features a high-tech poly-organic POAT (Poly Organic Acid Technology) formula combined with a unique additive package. This formula helps engines maintain optimum operating temperatures, seals pinhole leaks and fissures, and offers excellent metal and cavitation protection. It is designed to protect gas engines for up to 4,000 hours or 2 years, and diesel engines for an impressive 12,500 hours or 7 years.
