I haven't seen the stuff, but from what I've gathered from other posts it simply transfers heat better than standard antifreeze. Presumably the cylinders are normally hotter than the coolant (which is what the thermostat and compter use to tell engine temperature) This transfers more heat from the cylinders (therefore cooling them down) but like you said, the thermostat keeps the coolant at the same temperature it otherwise would be. Again, like I said, I really haven't seen the stuff so I could be totally off base here.
