Hi guys! We have the RCA coolant and it says on the bottle 70% ethylene glycol and 30% glycerin. Doesn't say anything about any other ingredients. We are selling these 12 oz. bottles for $4.95 today thru June. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Jason Martin Excel Distributing Inc.

The glycerine is what makes the coolant work better optically. What would a "standard mixture" be? Leonard G.
