Winter weather can be tough on your car, and it's no secret that cold temperatures bring a whole host of challenges. From shrinking metal parts and frozen fluids to the corrosive effects of road salt, your vehicle faces a variety of risks that can impact both its performance and appearance. While it’s wise to get a full maintenance checkup once spring arrives, preparing your car before the snow hits can make a big difference in how well it handles the season. Here are six common issues you should be aware of: **1. Fluids Thicken in the Cold** Cold weather causes engine oil, transmission fluid, and antifreeze to thicken, making it harder for them to circulate properly. This can lead to starting problems or even system failures. To stay ahead, change all fluids before the temperature drops and keep an eye on their levels. Also, warm up your car for 10–15 minutes before driving to help the fluids flow more easily. **2. Batteries Struggle in the Cold** Your car’s battery works harder in freezing temperatures. If your battery is over four years old, it may not start at all. Consider having it tested or replaced before winter, and try to park in a garage if possible to keep it warmer. **3. Tire Pressure Drops** For every 10°F decrease in temperature, tire pressure drops by about 1 psi. Underinflated tires can reduce traction and cause uneven wear, while overinflated tires can affect handling. Check your tire pressure regularly, especially when the weather changes rapidly, and inflate to the recommended PSI. **4. Condensation and Ice Build-Up** Moisture inside your car can freeze, leading to ice buildup that might damage components like power steering or brakes. If you notice leaks or warning lights, don’t ignore them—schedule a service as soon as possible. **5. Road Salt Causes Corrosion** Salt used on roads can stick to your car and corrode metal parts, including the undercarriage and wheel wells. It can also damage your paint if it gets into dents or chips. Washing your car monthly during winter helps remove salt and prevent long-term damage. **6. Spark Plugs Can Be Affected by Cold** Colder temperatures can freeze spark plugs or damage their wiring, leading to starting issues. Have your spark plugs inspected in the fall and replace any that are worn out to avoid problems in the winter. Taking these steps now can help keep your car running smoothly through the coldest months.

Di-tertiary Butyl Peroxide

Di-tertiary Butyl Peroxide is an organic compound consisting of a peroxide group bonded to two tert-butyl groups. It is one of the most stable organic peroxides, due to the tert-butyl groups being bulky. It is a colorless liquid.

DTBP can in principle be used in engines where oxyge is limited, since the molecule supplies both the oxidizer and the fuel

DTBP is an irritant to noses, and eyes and skin. It is also flammable, so it should be handled with care.

DTBP is a liquid dialkyl peroxide. It is an efficient initiator for polymerization of olefins and

acrylic resins, and a modification agent of PP degradation, insoluble in water, soluble in

organic solvents such as toluene, acetone, styrene, etc. Freeing point lower than -30℃.

Miscible in alcohol,esters,ethers,olefins and othe organic solvents Immiscible with water.

20kg jerrycan,160kg steel PVF drum.Store in -30℃-40℃ with efficient air ventilation. Avoid direct sunlight.
