Can Alcohol Be Added to Car Windshield Washer Fluid?
1 Answers
Industrial alcohol is required, but it is not recommended to use alcohol-based substances as windshield washer fluid. Especially when DIY-ing without proper control of proportions, the risks are greater. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Adding alcohol alone to windshield washer fluid cannot prevent freezing. Windshield washer fluid contains alcohol and ethylene glycol, which significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, providing antifreeze effects and quickly dissolving frost. 2. High-quality windshield washer fluid is made from deionized water and various environmentally friendly additives, offering functions such as dirt removal, antifreeze, antistatic, and anti-corrosion. Some superior quality windshield washer fluids also feature rapid snow and ice melting, anti-glare, and anti-fog properties, playing a significant role in enhancing driving safety.
