How It Works?
Hygroscopic Activation
When you apply the granules, they quickly retain climatic dampness. This hygroscopic property starts the de-icing handle indeed some time recently ice softens, making dynamic brine arrangement on contact.
Exothermic Response Process
The disintegration produces warm that quickens ice entrance. You advantage from this vitality discharge as it breaks the atomic bonds between ice layers and asphalt surfaces, undermining the ice structure from below.
Brine Take Formation
As the fabric works into thick ice layers up to 6mm, it makes localized brine pockets. These pockets undermined the ice, making mechanical expulsion essentially simpler for your ground teams and clearing equipment.
Friction Coefficient Restoration
The chemical activity not as it were expels ice but moreover anticipates refreezing. Your runway keeps up the basic grinding coefficients required for secure flying machine operations all through the treatment period.

FAQ
Q: How does this product differ from liquid potassium acetate?
A: The solid form provides better performance in extreme cold and windy conditions. You avoid dilution issues and achieve deeper ice penetration, while liquid versions work better for anti-icing prevention applications.
Q: What application rate should we use per square meter?
A: Typical rates range from 30-50 grams per square meter for preventive treatment, increasing to 80-120 grams for curative de-icing. Your specific rate depends on ice thickness and ambient temperature.
Q: Can we mix this with other de-icing chemicals?
A: Yes, it combines effectively with liquid potassium acetate for pre-wetting applications. Avoid mixing with chloride-based products, which would compromise the corrosion-protection benefits.
Q: How should we store this material during off-season?
A: Store in a cool, dry warehouse with relative humidity below 60%. Keep containers sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Properly stored product maintains effectiveness for 12 months.
