Safe for runways: meets FAA approved specifications
Safe for the environment: non-persistent, biodegradable, low BOD
Fast: runways are available sooner
Staying power: works longer, requiring fewer applications
Easy to apply: applied with existing equipment
Excellent anti-icing characteristics
Active at low temperatures (-20°F and below)
Less slippery than glycol-based products
Deicing:
1 gallon /1000 ft2 (50 g/m2) near 32°F (0°C) on thin ice
3 gallons/1000 ft2 (150 g/m2)below 10°F (-12°C) on 1 inch ice
Anti-icing: 0.5 gallons/1000 ft2 (25 g/m2)
Reapply when new accumulation shows first tendency to bond
Plow often to reduce fluid dilution
Prewetting – apply at spreader outlet at a rate of 1.25 gallons per 100 Ibs. (130 g/kg) of solid deicer
