CF7 Liquid Runway Deicer
CF7 LIQUID – REPLACE THE DEICER – NOT THE STRUCTURE
BENEFITS:
- Low corrosion: contains no chlorides
- Fast: liquid formulation works on contact
- High performance: effective at -32o C (-25o F)
- Easy to handle: clear liquid, no agitation required
- Safe for the environment: non-persistent, biodegradable
- Multi-purpose: anti-icing, deicing, and prewetting solids
- Does not track like common deicers
- Is not slippery like common deicers
PERFORMANCE:
- Has low freezing points – 76o F (-60o C)
- When used as an anti-icer – prevents adhesion of snow/ice to pavement
- When used as a deicer – breaks snow/ice bonds prior to mechanical removal
- Does not refreeze like common salts
APPLICATION:
- Prewetting: apply at spreader outlet at a rate of 1.25 gallons per 100 lbs of solid deicer (130g/kg)
- Deicing – Commercial = 1-3 gallons/1000 ft (25-50 g/m)
- Deicing – Highway = 60-180 gallons/lane mile (50-150 g/m)
- Anti-icing – Commercial = 0.5 gallons/1000 ft (25-50 g/m)
- Anti-icing – Highway = 25-60 gallons/lane mile (25-50 g/m)
- Re-apply when new snow/ice accumulation shows first tendency to bond
- Plow promptly to reduce fluid dilution
ENVIRONMENT:
- Readily biodegrades at low temperatures; has low BOD
- Does not contain nitrogen, sodium or chlorides
- Low toxicity to fish, mammals and vegetation
HANDLING:
- CF7 should not be stored or plumbed through systems that use galvanized, zinc or brass components
- Polyethylene containers are preferred, otherwise use carbon, low alloy or stainless steel
- Containers must be clean and free of rust, surface deposits and residue
