Worker with ice I included put this in radiator (10)

I believe the answer is:

antifreeze

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this in radiator' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'worker with ice i included' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ice' becomes 'freeze' (I've seen this before).
'included' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ant'+'freeze'='antfreeze'
'antfreeze' enclosing 'i' is 'ANTIFREEZE'.

'put' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antifreeze that I've seen before include "not needed for a long time in Hell?" , "Glycol for car radiators" , "Addition to radiator" , "Liquid added to car radiator" , "Winter radiator additive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
