Purifiers
1. Cleaner for carburetors and choke is a potent solvent for tar, soot and coal deposits. Most carburetor cleaners leave behind a dry lubricating film that does not harden or tar over time. It is precisely because of the formation of such a film that these cleaners are not recommended for washing electrical components.
2. Brake cleaner used to remove traces of grease and brake fluid from the surfaces of brake system components, where absolute cleanliness is paramount for efficient operation. The cleaner leaves no residue and in many cases eliminates the squeal of brakes caused by contamination of their components.
3. Cleaner for electrical components helps to eliminate oxide films, traces of corrosion and deposits from contact surfaces without disturbing electrical conductivity. It can also be used to clean spark plugs, carburetor jets, voltage regulators and other components where complete removal of oil and grease is desired.
4. Dehumidifiers serve to remove water and moisture from the surfaces of electrical components such as generator, voltage regulator, mounting block, electrical connectors, etc. Dehumidifiers are usually non-conductive, non-corrosive and non-flammable.
5. Degreasers are ultra-strong solvents and serve to remove traces of grease from the outer surfaces of the engine and chassis components. Available in the form of aerosols or applied with a brush or brush and, depending on the type, washed off with either water or a solvent.
Lubricants
Motor (motor) oils are specially formulated formulations for lubricating internal engine components. They usually contain a wide range of various additives that serve to prevent foaming and corrosion. Engine oils are produced in various degrees of viscosity - from 5 to 80. The need to use one or another grade of oil is usually determined by climatic conditions and the requirements of a particular engine. Liquid (lungs) oils are typically used in cold climates and light engine loads. Heavy (viscous) oils are used in hot conditions and under heavy engine loads. Multigrade oils have the characteristics of both light and heavy oils and are usually designated 5W-20 to 20W-50.
1. Transmission oil designed for use in differentials, manual transmissions, and other units where high temperature resistance is required.
2. Grease for chassis components and wheel bearings is a grease used in high stress and friction applications such as wheel bearings, suspension ball joints, tie rod ends and universal joints.
3. High temperature grease for wheel bearings is able to withstand the high temperatures that occur in the wheel bearings of vehicles equipped with disc brakes. Typically contains molybdenum disulphide, which is a dry type lubricant.
4. white grease is a thick lubricant applied to contacting metal surfaces in places where there are problems with increased moisture. Remains soft at both low and high temperatures, does not wash out or thin with water.
5. assembly lubricant is a special grease for high pressure applications, usually contains molybdenum and is used to lubricate highly stressed components (such as main and connecting rod bearings and cam lugs) before the first start of the engine after the completion of the overhaul.
6. Silicone lubricants used to protect rubber, plastic, vinyl and nylon components.
7. Graphite lubricants are used where oil cannot be used due to contamination problems (such as castles). Dry graphite perfectly lubricates metal parts, preventing them from being exposed to dirt, moisture and acids. The grease is electrically conductive and does not interfere with contact in such components as, for example, the ignition switch.
8. Molybdenum containing penetrating compounds used to facilitate giving "stuck" fasteners, as well as for lubricating fasteners to prevent future corrosion.
9. Thermally conductive lubricant is non-conductive and is used to install electronic ignition modules that require intensive heat removal from themselves.
Sealants
1. Sealant RTV is the most widely used gasket sealant. Silicon-based, air-drying, seals well, adheres well, is water-resistant, fills imperfections in surfaces, remains flexible, does not shrink or shrink, is relatively easy to remove and is used in addition to almost all gaskets on sites where temperatures do not exceed average values.
2. Anaerobic sealant unlike sealant, RTV can be used not only in addition to gaskets, but also to form them. Remains flexible, resistant to solvents and fills uneven surfaces well. The main difference from RTV sealant lies in the curing conditions. If the RTU sealant begins to harden upon contact with air, then the anaerobic sealant rises only in the absence of air. This means that the hardening of such a sealant occurs only after the components are assembled and pressed against each other.
3. Sealant for pipes and threaded connections used for sealing fitting connections of hydraulic, pneumatic and vacuum lines. It is usually made from a Teflon compound and is supplied as an aerosol, applied like paint with a liquid brush or as a tape (FUM).
Chemicals
1. Anti-tack compound serves to prevent sticking, corrosion, jamming and cold welding of fasteners. High temperature anti-seize sealants are usually made with copper based or graphite based lubricants and are used in exhaust system and exhaust manifold fasteners.
2. Anaerobic tack compounds serve to prevent spontaneous release of fasteners under the influence of vibrations and harden only after installation in the absence of contact with air. Medium power tacking compounds are used for fixing small fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws), which are subject to regular delivery. High strength compounds are typically used to block large fasteners that are not released on a regular basis.
3. Oil additives serve to change the chemical properties of the oil without changing its viscosity in order to reduce internal friction in the engine. It should be noted that most manufacturers of motor oils warn against the use of any additives to them.
4. Fuel additives perform several functions at once, depending on their chemical composition. They usually contain solvents that help remove tar and remove carbon deposits from the internal surfaces of the carburetor and components of the fuel injection system and intake tract. In addition, the use of such additives helps to remove coal deposits that form on the walls of combustion chambers. Some additives contain substances that serve to lubricate the components of the upper part of the cylinder head (valve train, piston rings), others help to remove condensate from the walls of the fuel tank.
Other
1. Brake fluid - is a specially designed composition capable of withstanding the effects of high temperatures and pressures that occur in the brake system. Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with painted surfaces of the vehicle or exposed areas of the body. Keep brake fluid in a sealed container to prevent moisture from entering it (liquid is very hygroscopic) and dirt.
2. Adhesive for attaching sealing strips to body openings, as its name implies, is used to fasten the sealing strips of door openings, windows and luggage compartment covers. It can be used for fixing elements of interior decoration.
3. Anti-corrosion coating for the bottom of the car is a tar-like composition made on an oil basis, and serves as a protective coating for metal surfaces, preventing their corrosion. In addition, it performs the function of soundproofing the cabin.
4. Waxes and polishes used to protect painted surfaces from environmental influences. Different types of paint may require the use of different types of waxes and polishes. Some polishes contain abrasive or chemical additives to remove the outer layer of oxides (tarnishing) from the painted surfaces of old cars. Recently, various types of wax-free polishes are widely introduced on the market, which include many chemical additives, such as polymers or silicon-based substances. These polishes are usually easier to apply and last longer than regular polishes (wax).
