Will windshield washer fluid with a freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius freeze?
1 Answers
Windshield washer fluid with a freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius will not freeze, as 0-degree fluid has antifreeze properties. Automotive windshield washer fluids are generally categorized into summer-use 0-degree fluid and winter-use -20 and -35-degree fluids. Those that remain unfrozen at -40 degrees Celsius are considered special antifreeze types, suitable for extremely cold northern regions. High-quality automotive windshield washer fluid is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Commonly known as "glass water," windshield washer fluid typically has wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, thereby serving to clean and remove dirt. Based on their form, windshield washer fluids can be classified into solid and liquid types.
