There are none. CaCl is far heavier than water, providing exceptional weight as well as freeze protection.

Alcohol and windshield washer fluid are lighter than water and pricey. Used coolant is fatal in tiny doses to cats, dogs, and kids. If you had leak problems with CaCl you will have them with coolant too. Leaks are caused by poor maintenance, not the fluids.

In the south, they use beet juice. I always knew they were good for something... they sure are nasty to eat.

Or maybe you want to try this. Years ago I was in the plant that makes those tow tractors they use to yank 747's around at airports. Wonder how they get such great traction? The tires are filled with powdered lead!
