Can Windshield Washer Fluids Be Mixed?
1 Answers
Windshield washer fluids can be mixed. Windshield washer fluid is a cleaning solution for car windshields. It is composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. The functions of windshield washer fluid include: 1. Cleaning performance—surfactants have wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, which help clean and remove dirt; 2. Anti-freezing performance—the presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing anti-freezing effects; 3. Anti-fog performance—a protective film forms to prevent fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent for optimal visibility; 4. Anti-static performance—it cleans substances adsorbed on the glass surface and eliminates static charges; 5. Lubrication performance—it reduces friction between the wiper and the glass, preventing scratches; 6. Anti-corrosion performance—it does not corrode metal parts.
