Formula x concentrate aircraft deicing type 1 de icing fluid must be used diluted and heated in accordance with faa approved deicing anti icing program.
Mil a 8243d type 1 fluid is acceptable in a 50 50 fluid water concentration.
Type ii and type iv non newtonian fluids.
However a mixture of 70 percent deicing fluid and 30 percent water freezes below 55 c.
Deicing fluids work best when they are diluted with water.
This fluid is not to be used when temperatures are under 22 f.
For de icing it is the heat and hydraulic force that accomplish the task.
For anti icing it is primarily the heat imparted to the airframe that accomplishes the task.
