Applications
Anti-Icing
Pre-treatment prior to the start of any icing event is the most efficient use of liquid potassium acetate. The rate of application is approximately 0.5 gallons per 1,000 ft2.
Deicing
Liquid potassium acetate can be used as an effective deicer when allowed to penetrate the pavement surface to break the bond of ice and snow. The amount of fluid required depends on outside temperatures as well as the thickness of the ice film. A recommended application rate of 1.0 gallon per 1,000 ft2 for thin ice and 3.0 gallons per 1,000fit2 for ice up to an inch thick.
Sodium Formate
This powerful and ecologic de-icing product is designed to maintain adequate friction between aircraft tires on the runway. Able to melt ice and snow faster than urea and sodium acetate, sodium formate is effective at lower temperatures. It has lower use rates compared to urea and sodium acetate. Approved according to AMS1431 specifications by SMI USA.
