What are liquid de-icers and how are they used?
Liquid ice-melters are frequently used for several purposes: 1) Anti-icing-where the liquid is applied to the pavement before an event to prevent the formation of an ice-pavement bond, 2) De-icing – the liquid is applied to the surface area after mechanical removal of ice and snow has been completed, and 3) Pre-wetting-where liquid is used to prewet solid chloride de-icers to reduce scatter, initiate brine formation, and/or lower the effective temperature of the solid de-icer. Liquid ice-melters come in a variety of forms and are used in many different applications. Contact your sales representative to find out if they are right for you.
