Washer fluid
Alcohol for washer fluid
At Nedstar, we offer a wide range of ethanol solutions for the automotive industry. Screenwash, also known as washer fluid, is a crucial automotive product that serves to maintain clear and clean windshields, enhancing road visibility and overall driving safety.
One of the key ingredients in many washer fluid formulations is ethanol, an alcohol-based compound. Its inclusion contributes to both driving safety and environmental responsibility.
Why use ethanol for washer fluid?
Ethanol is commonly used in screenwash for several reasons:
Effective cleaning agent
Ethanol is a potent solvent that effectively breaks down and removes dirt, grime, bugs, and other residues from the windshield. It helps ensure a clean and clear view while driving.
Antifreeze properties
Ethanol has natural antifreeze properties, which make it suitable for use in colder climates. It prevents the washer fluid from freezing in cold temperatures, allowing it to function effectively even during winter.
Low toxicity
Ethanol is less toxic than some other chemicals used in automotive fluids. This characteristic makes it safer for the environment, as well as for people who may come into contact with the fluid.
Biodegradable
Ethanol is biodegradable, meaning it breaks down naturally over time and is less harmful to the environment compared to some synthetic chemicals.
Compatibility with rubber components
Ethanol is less likely to damage rubber components such as wiper blades and hoses in the washer system, ensuring the longevity of these parts.
Cost-effective
Ethanol is often more cost-effective than other chemical alternatives, making it an attractive option for manufacturers and consumers alike.
