Risks of frozen radiators when ordering during the wintertimes?

Hey guys, I have one question:
The AiO's are all pre-filled, but what's the Liquid exactly? Is it normal distilled water or is it one of your cooling liquids like the "Alphacool Tec Protect 2"?
How likely is it that a radiator or an AiO in general can take damage from freezing water? When it is sitting in a ( normally) unheated warehouse or when it is shipped for a couple days, maybe extended times of loading between vehicles.. just sitting somewhere outside, wrapped on a pallet?
I'm asking this because the next couple days/weeks will be quite cold here, going down to -5, -8(° Celsius) in the night, so definitely below freezing point.

Concrete example I would like to know:
The freezing point of the "Alphacool Tec Protect 2" liquid is -10° celsius, it's written in the datasheet.
BUT when I look into the datasheet of the "Eisbaer 360", it's missing. --> "freezing point, data not available".

Maybe I'm overthinking, but I don't want to ruin my brandnew hardware worth thousands... because the radiator burst or got some small cracks in the fins due to it being frozen at some point in the shipping process.

Thank you for answering, greetings!

Hi,

our prefilled products are prefilled with distilled water and 30% Glycol. Therefore the freezing point is around -10°C as far as I know. Maybe @Eddy can tell you a more detailed information.
