Can Water Replace Windshield Washer Fluid in Summer?
1 Answers
Water cannot replace windshield washer fluid in summer. If water is used as a substitute for windshield washer fluid, it can only clean dust superficially and lacks the ability to thoroughly remove dirt and insect residues adhering to the windshield. Additionally, ordinary tap water contains many impurities, which over time can accumulate in the rubber hoses, leading to clogged nozzles and pipes. Windshield washer fluid is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Its main functions include: 1. Cleaning performance; 2. Anti-freeze performance; 3. Anti-fog performance; 4. Anti-static performance; 5. Lubrication performance; 6. Anti-corrosion and rust prevention performance.
