Type 2 Deicing Fluid

They are primarily used for de icing and do not offer any significant anti icing holdover protection.

Type 2 deicing fluid.

For de icing it is the heat and hydraulic force that accomplish the task. This fluid is not to be used when temperatures are under 22 f. Discover our portfolio of de icers. Type i fluids have the shortest hot.

This fluid has a low viscosity and flows off of aircraft easily. Unheated and undiluted or diluted for anti icing. The differences between type i and type iv de icing fluid. 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.

When a type i fluid fails it fails suddenly. For example undiluted dow ucar deicing fluid type i ethylene glycol has a freezing point of 28 c. However a mixture of 70 percent deicing fluid and 30 percent water freezes below 55 c. Aircraft de icing clariant has developed high performing deicing fluids to keep aircraft surfaces free from ice and snow.

Water freezes at 0 c. Type i de anti icing fluid are manufactured and qualified to ams 1424 iso 11075 specifications. 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. Deicing fluids work best when they are diluted with water.

For anti icing it is primarily the heat imparted to the airframe that accomplishes the task. Recycling clariant supports our customers efforts to reduce the environmental impact of their airport operations and lower costs.
