What is the purpose of car windshield washer fluid?
1 Answers
Car windshield washer fluid is used to clean the front windshield and is a consumable item in vehicle maintenance. It is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, and other components, offering functions such as cleaning, antifreeze, and anti-fogging. Windshield washer fluids can be categorized by form into solid and liquid types, with solid washer fluids mostly designed for use in environments above 0 degrees Celsius. There are several types of washer fluids: one commonly used in summer contains insect-removing agents to quickly eliminate insect residues on the windshield; another is an antifreeze type specifically for winter use, ensuring it does not freeze or damage car components even when temperatures drop below -20 degrees Celsius; and a special antifreeze type that remains unfrozen at -40 degrees Celsius, suitable for the extreme cold regions of northern China.
