Deicing Fluids

Home 'Formula 1' 'Formula 1-Plus' 'Formula X' Theory & Methods Holdover Table MSDS


Our Aircraft Ground Deicing Fluids are designed to safely remove frost, snow & ice from your aircraft prior to flight. They're recommended for use on all fixed wing, metal aircraft, including piston, turboprop, and jet. They’re typically sprayed hot, directly onto the aircraft surfaces from a handheld or powered deicing sprayer, and remove frost, snow & ice by thermal action and by lowering the freezing point of the frozen layer.  If applied properly, not only will the frozen contaminates be removed from your aircraft, but the residual fluid will not refreeze upon takeoff…. They will not harm your aircraft, and are biodegradable.


    o Caution #1:  Each formulation of our 'Formula I' & 'Formula I-Plus' deicing fluids has a known freeze point.  An application 'buffer' of at least 18° F. between the known freeze point of the deicing fluid and the ambient air temperature is required.  Also, the Lowest Operational Use Temperature is -26° F; do not apply our SAE Type I deicing fluid at ambient air temperatures lower than -26° F.

    o Caution #2:  These are DEICING, not anti-icing, fluids.  The residual fluid layer remaining after deicing provides only very limited anti-icing capabilities; refer to the "Holdover Table" for more data.

    o Caution #3:  These fluids provide no protection against icing in flight. 

To provide a full range of deicing capabilities, we offer three formulations of deicing fluid:
    o 'Formula I' - is applied undiluted & hot at ambient air temperatures to -12° F.
    o 'Formula I-Plus' - is applied undiluted & hot at ambient air temperatures to -26° F.
    o 'Formula X' - is a concentrate that's to be diluted with water in the field to tailor the deicing
                            fluid's formulation for application to specific ambient air temperatures.
