Tomicham reminded how to choose high-quality ice cream

The Office of Rospotrebnadzor in the Tomsk region began to receive complaints about poor-quality non-freezing. They are mainly associated with a sharp smell of the product, however, as experts note, the smell is not always a sign of a bad liquid.

Rospotrebnadzor recommends careful approach to the choice of winter glass washing liquid. The best option is compositions based on ethyl and isopropyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is not harmful to health, has almost no odor and retains fluidity in the cold, freezing only at temperatures below -80 ° C. Isopropyl alcohol has all the necessary properties and is inexpensive, but it emits a sharp smell similar to acetone. Those who react sharply to odors, it is better to choose an ice cream on ethyl alcohol.

Freezing on methyl alcohol (methanol) is prohibited by sanitary rules: methanol is highly toxic, very poisonous and has no odor. Experts advise to choose certified products with alcohol content from 60 to 75%.

When choosing, you should pay attention to the packaging: the company logo, readable inscriptions, minimum operating temperature, instructions for use, production date, shelf life, composition, precautions and information about the manufacturer with the address. It is better to take non-freezing in a transparent canister - if the liquid is cloudy and sediment has fallen on the bottom, this is a bad sign. After shaking quality liquid forms foam, and in the cold inside should not be ice.

In Russia, there is a mandatory marking of ice-free formulations through the “Honest Sign” system: each package is provided with a unique DataMatrix code. Buy glass washing liquid is only in proven places - not on the roadsides and not from hands in garages. You can also require documents for the goods, including a certificate of state registration, which is issued by Rospotrebnadzor.
