Do-it-yourself budget anti-freeze

Homemade cars / Lifehacks and useful tips 30 764 7

All motorists know how difficult it is to find a good anti-freeze product that does not smell, does not freeze, and is also affordable. I will show you how to make an anti-freeze product that has excellent cleaning properties, does not harden at minus 20 degrees Celsius, and is also almost half the price than in the store.

Will need

Ethyl alcohol - 0.5 liters.
Dishwashing liquid - 2-3 drops.
Liquid soap - 2-3 drops.
Window cleaner - 5-5 drops (“spray”).
Tap water - 3 liters.

Making an inexpensive antifreeze with your own hands

Add 2.5 faceted glasses of alcohol, you will get 500 ml.

Poop a couple of drops of any dishwashing detergent.

Add a couple of drops of liquid soap.

Spray with glass cleaner several times, this will improve rinsing and enhance the cleaning effect.

Close the bottle and mix well.

This composition has a pleasant aroma and does not emit any strong odors. Absolutely safe when used as directed. Was tested at minus 20 degrees Celsius and did not freeze.

How profitable is this?

Now the average price for a 5 liter canister of ethyl alcohol fluctuates around 1000 rubles. If you take the technical one, it’s even cheaper.
Approximately 100 rubles per 0.5 liter. As a result, the price of our antifreeze for 3.5 liters is only 100 rubles!
It's very profitable.
And this cannot be compared with the incomprehensible samples that are sold in stores, which give a headache when used, and even in cold weather it happens that everything freezes.

  Find it somewhere on the Internet and look for yourself. And take your ton...
  for 1000 it’s still normal, but for anti-freeze you can find it cheaper with worse quality.

    You will be surprised, but at minus 20 it does not freeze and the smell is pleasant, it even cleans dirt from glass easily.... If you want to pay more, take at least 5,000 rubles per liter, your right. I just don't see the point in overpaying.

When diluting 0.5 liters of alcohol (96%) with 3 liters of water, an approximately 14% alcohol solution is obtained, the freezing temperature (the appearance of the first crystals) will be approximately -7 degrees below zero. The temperature difference between the beginning and end of freezing (from the gel-like phase to the solid phase) is approximately 7 degrees (for example, with a 40% aqueous-alcohol solution, the beginning of freezing will be approximately - 22.5 ° C and the transition to the solid phase will be approximately 29.5 ° C ). Conclusion: at temperatures below -14 degrees below zero, this anti-freeze product will turn “from a carriage into a pumpkin.” I in no way criticize the very idea of making your own non-freezing liquid (I even support it in some way, given the huge number of its fakes), but something is not right in “the recipe for this soup.”
