Type 2 Deicing Fluid

Deicing fluids work best when they are diluted with water.

Type 2 deicing fluid.

For de icing it is the heat and hydraulic force that accomplish the task. Because of this type i fluids are commonly used as part of a two step de anti icing procedure when the final application of a type ii or type iv. They are primarily used for de icing and do not offer any significant anti icing holdover protection. Recycling clariant supports our customers efforts to reduce the environmental impact of their airport operations and lower costs.

Aircraft de icing clariant has developed high performing deicing fluids to keep aircraft surfaces free from ice and snow. When a type i fluid fails it fails suddenly. Water freezes at 0 c. Type i fluids have the shortest hot.

For example undiluted dow ucar deicing fluid type i ethylene glycol has a freezing point of 28 c. The differences between type i and type iv de icing fluid. Unheated and undiluted or diluted for anti icing. Type ii fluids can be used for de icing purposes but unlike type i fluids also offer extended anti icing holdover protection and can be used in a variety of ways.

This fluid has a low viscosity and flows off of aircraft easily. Designed to meet sae type i and ams 1424 specifications for de icing aircraft type 1 de icing fluid is made from propylene glycol. This fluid is not to be used when temperatures are under 22 f. Discover our portfolio of de icers.

Type i de anti icing fluid are manufactured and qualified to ams 1424 iso 11075 specifications. For anti icing it is primarily the heat imparted to the airframe that accomplishes the task.
