Glass -shaped liquid for a car is needed at any time of the year. But, if any liquid is suitable in the summer, for example, water, then in winter only an non -freezing liquid should be poured (popularly “non -freezing”). On the market, the eyes run away from the abundance of goods: different colors, different freezing temperature. It is difficult to choose a suitable product. In order not to make a mistake with the choice, get acquainted with the properties and composition of the non -freezing and how it works for the good of the car.
What is part of the glass -carrier fluid?
The composition of the washer includes a mixture of water with alcohol in different proportions (depending on the freezing temperature), detergents, coloring and aromatizing materials are also added to it. At what temperature can the liquid wash the glass without problems, is indicated on the packaging. Usually it is 10, 20, 30 and 40 degrees with the sign “Minus”. Choose according to the climatic zone in which you live. If the south is enough and -15, then in the north you need -40 or -50.
It is not recommended to interfere with liquid with products of another manufacturer. Each plant produces non -freezing liquids according to its recipe. They differ both in color and in composition. A mixture of different containers can ineffectively wash the surface, in another case, it threatens with clogging sprayers.
In composition, non -freezing is divided into three types
With ethyl alcohol. In other words, this is diluted vodka. The mixture is of high quality, but has one drawback. This is a price, expensive pleasure – wash the glass with vodka;
With isopropyl alcohol, the mixture is cheaper, for a car and the health of a driver does not pose. The temperature range is quite wide. This is the most common liquid for washing the glass, but its lack of sharp smell. For this reason, not everyone will buy such a product: the stink in the salon is not everyone on the gut;
Non -freezing with methanol. This mixture in Russia is prohibited, but when something is prohibited, then there is sure to be on the counter of some shop. Everything is in the cheapness of methanol: the cost of the cost is low, which means that the profit is high. Therefore, cheap goods are most often found, although it seems like it is high quality.
What non -freezing to choose?
When there is demand, there is a proposal. Liquids with different smells are sold on the market, prices are the most attractive. Unfortunately, there is a spoonful of tar in such an abundance of proposals. You can easily buy a fake, they literally filled the car market. When the choice of non -freezing liquid is large, do not buy it on the tracks. In such places, poor -quality products are most often found. In specialized stores, the probability of the appearance of a fake is much lower.
Do not save on glass, remember that it is dangerous for your health. Buy glass washing liquid, guided by its composition, for example, on the basis of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, and in no case buy a methanol -based liquid. Distinguishing a fake from high -quality “non -freezing” is not so simple. If it washes glass without stains and stains, dries quickly, then it seems that you have acquired a quality liquid. Another way to find out what quality is a check of well -being after a half hour drive. No headache and sluggish state – use health.
