Does The Steam Hurt The Paint?

Dec 09, 2021

An old friend asked me if steam washing would hurt the car paint and rubber parts? I can tell you responsibly: don't hurt the paint! It is said that the steam car washing machine hurts the car paint. In fact, this is the imagination of some people.


Steam car washing is to turn the water into steam after heating, and the ejected steam quickly condenses into water on the body surface, and then quickly wash the dirt away through steam pressure. Steam can not only disinfect, but also remove dirt. At the same time, it has strong thermal degradation physical characteristics. It can quickly resolve the viscosity of sediment and dirt. Dirt is softened by heating and can be easily removed under steam jet with pressure. When high pressure is sprayed on the vehicle body surface, the temperature of low-temperature steam sprayed by steam is 50 ℃, and the steam pressure reaches 220-260 M / S (the flow rate exceeds grade 17 hurricane), so as to sweep away the contaminated objects adhered to the vehicle paint surface.

-1The steam used for car washing is low-temperature steam, which does not exceed the heating limit temperature of car paint and rubber. The car paint temperature is baked at 170 ° C in the paint baking room. As long as it does not exceed this temperature, the paint surface and rubber parts of the car will not cause any damage.


The steam temperature at the spray gun outlet of the steam car washer is 100-120 degrees Celsius, but in the process of car washing, the spray gun outlet is 8-10 cm away from the vehicle body. After the steam is sprayed 10 cm from the outlet, part of the temperature will dissipate. At this time, the steam temperature is only about 50 degrees, which can be directly touched by hands, so it won't hurt the paint at all. In summer, especially for black cars, when placed in the sun, it's ok if the surface temperature of the car paint reaches 60 degrees. Steam cleaning is only 50 degrees, and it's far from damaging the car paint. Moreover, the steam will decompose the sludge on the body surface and wash it quickly.


According to life experience, we can know that the effect of using cold water and hot water when washing clothes is very different. At this point, will you be confused about whether steam will hurt the car paint? More questions, welcome old fellow to continue to pay attention to me.
