Car chemicals
In recent years, the market goes a lot of chemicals, oils and lubricants used in the implementation of procedures of routine maintenance and repair of the car. This includes a wide range of products of the chemical and oil industry - from cleaning compounds and solvents, to oils, greases and aerosols for protection of rubber and plastic components of the vehicle.
Cleaners
Cleaner for carburetors and air dampers is a potent solvent resins, varnish and carbon deposits. Most carburetor cleaners leave behind a dry lubricating film type, which does not harden and zasmalivaetsya over time. That meant the formation of such a film these cleaners are not recommended for washing electrical components.
Cleaner for brake systems used to remove grease and brake fluid from the surfaces of components of the braking system, where absolute cleanliness is the primary condition for effective functioning. The cleaner does not leave any traces and in many cases eliminates the screeching brakes, causing pollution of their components.
Cleaner for electrical components promotes elimination of oxide films, corrosion and deposit from contact surfaces without breaking the electrical conductivity. Can also be used to clean the spark plugs, carburetor jets, voltage regulators, and other sites where the desired is a complete removal of oil and grease.
Desiccants are used to remove water and moisture from the surfaces of electric components such as the alternator, voltage regulator, mounting the fuse, electrical connectors, etc. Dehumidifiers normally do not conduct electricity, chemically aggressive and non-flammability.
Degreasing agents are super-strong solvents and serve to remove grease from the outer surfaces of the engine and chassis components. It is produced in the form of aerosols or applied with a brush or a brush, and depending on the type, washed with water or solvent.
Sealants
RTV sealant is the most widely used liquid gasket. It is made on the basis of silicon, stiffens on air, provides sealing and good adhesion, is water-resistant, fills defects of the mating surfaces, remains elastic, does not shrink and does not shrink, it is relatively easy to remove and is used in addition to almost all gaskets at the sites where the temperature does not exceed averages.
Anaerobic sealant unlike RTV sealant can be applied not only in addition to the spacers, but also for the formation thereof. It remains flexible, resistant to solvents and well fills uneven mating surfaces. The main difference from the RTV sealant is curing conditions. If RTV sealant starts to solidify on contact with air, the anaerobic sealant, on the contrary, it rises only in the absence of such contact. This means that gelation of the sealant occurs only after assembly of the components and tight pressing them together.
Hermetic for pipes and threaded connections used for sealing compression fittings hydraulic, pneumatic and vacuum lines. Usually made based on PTFE compound and comes in the form of aerosols, the deposition of liquids such as paint, or in the form of tape (FUM).
Chemicals
Antiprihvatyvayuschy compound used to prevent "kick is" corrosion, sticking and cold welding fixture. High antiprihvatyvayuschie sealants are usually made on the basis of copper or graphite lubricants and fasteners used in the exhaust system and the exhaust manifold.
Anaerobic prihvatyvaet compounds are used to prevent inadvertent fastening of give under the influence of vibration and solidify only after installation in the absence of contact with air. Compounds prihvatyvaet average power used for fixation of small fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) be regular Give hereinafter. High-compounds are commonly used to block a major fixture, the need of giving which is extremely rare.
Additives to the oil used for adjusting the chemical properties of the oil, without changing its viscosity in order to reduce the internal friction in the engine. It should be noted that the majority of manufacturers producing motor oils, warn against the use of any additives to it.
Fuel additives perform several functions, depending on their chemical composition. Usually contain the solvents promoting the conclusion of sludge and sludge removal from the inner surfaces of the carburetor and the fuel injection system components and the intake tract. Furthermore, the use of such additives promotes the removal of carbon deposits forming on the walls of the combustion chambers. In the composition of certain additives include substances serving for lubrication of the upper components of the cylinder head (valve train, piston rings), while others promote removal of condensate from the walls of the fuel tank.
Other
Brake fluid is a specially designed compound that can withstand high temperatures and pressures encountered in a hydraulic path of brake system. Do not allow brake fluid to contact painted surfaces of the car and open areas of the body. Keep the brake fluid in sealed containers to prevent the ingress of moisture in it (the liquid is highly hygroscopic) and dirt.
Glue for fastening of sealing strips of body openings, as is clear from its name, it is used for fastening of sealing strips of apertures of doors, windows and covers the luggage compartment. It can be used to fix interior trim elements.
Anti-corrosion coating for the bottom of the car is gudronoobrazny composition was prepared based on an oil and is used to protect metal surfaces from aggressive environmental factors. Furthermore, the function of sound insulation of the passenger compartment.
Waxes and polishes used to protect the paint from the environment. Different types of paint may require the use of different types of waxes and polishes. The composition of some polishes contain abrasive or chemical additives serving to remove the outer layer of oxides (tarnishing) from painted surfaces of old cars. Recently, widely available on the market various types of containing no wax polishes, which include a variety of chemical additives such as polymers or the silicon-based material. These polishes are usually easier to apply and last longer usual (wax).
