Type 2 Deicing Fluid

However a mixture of 70 percent deicing fluid and 30 percent water freezes below 55 c.

Type 2 deicing fluid. Type i fluids have the shortest hot. Aircraft de icing clariant has developed high performing deicing fluids to keep aircraft surfaces free from ice and snow. Deicing fluids work best when they are diluted with water. Unheated and undiluted or diluted for anti icing.

Designed to meet sae type i and ams 1424 specifications for de icing aircraft type 1 de icing fluid is made from propylene glycol. When a type i fluid fails it fails suddenly. Type ii and iv fluids may be applied heated or cold and diluted or full strength. Type ii de anti icing fluids are manufactured and qualified to ams 1428 iso 11078 specifications.

For example undiluted dow ucar deicing fluid type i ethylene glycol has a freezing point of 28 c. Water freezes at 0 c. Discover our portfolio of de icers. 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. They are primarily used for de icing and do not offer any significant anti icing holdover protection. This fluid has a low viscosity and flows off of aircraft easily. This fluid is not to be used when temperatures are under 22 f.

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. Recycling clariant supports our customers efforts to reduce the environmental impact of their airport operations and lower costs.
