What to Use to Wipe Windows in Winter to Prevent Freezing?
1 Answers
In winter, using white liquor or alcohol to clean windows can prevent freezing. The freezing point of alcohol is below -180 degrees Celsius, and the alcohol content in high-proof liquor significantly lowers the freezing point of water, thus preventing window glass from freezing. During winter, car window glass is exposed to outdoor air, causing the glass temperature to drop below freezing. When indoor water vapor encounters the sub-zero glass, it directly sublimates into ice crystals adhering to the glass. Ice formation on windows severely obstructs visibility and compromises driving safety. Additional Information: Methods to Remove Ice from Car Windows: 1. Using Car Heater to Remove Ice: After the car window glass has frozen, start the vehicle. Once the engine temperature rises, use the air conditioner's warm air to blow on the windshield until the ice melts. This method is the safest and does not damage the glass, but it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and consumes more fuel. 2. Using Spray De-icer to Remove Ice: Spray de-icer is a high-speed anti-ice spray concentrate specifically developed to thaw frozen car windows and wipers. It does not harm the car's surface and prevents re-freezing and dirt accumulation. High-quality spray de-icers can easily remove ice and snow even at temperatures below -30°C. Additionally, it prevents the windshield and water accumulation areas from freezing, does not damage the car's surface, and leaves the glass clean and streak-free after cleaning.
