SHANXI ZHAOYI CHEMICAL CO., LTD. is a professional acetate manufacturer with 36 years of industry experience since 1988. Relying on our 27,000 ㎡ standardized production base and 150,000-ton annual output capacity, we independently supply Potassium Acetate Liquid Deicing Solution, which is specially developed for high-standard aviation and infrastructure ice and snow control scenarios. This 50% concentration finished product strictly complies with SAE AMS 1435 aerospace industry specifications, with a eutectic freezing point as low as -60°C. It effectively avoids chloride corrosion and urea toxicity risks that plague traditional deicing products. With ISO, KOSHER and HALAL full qualification certification, our solution can safely protect aircraft alloy parts and concrete infrastructure, and has been steadily exported and applied in Europe, America, Asia and other global markets.

Key Features & Benefits

Our this product solves many practical pain points in winter ice and snow prevention and removal for infrastructure and aviation projects with stable and verifiable performance. It can effectively prevent ice and snow from bonding tightly on runway surfaces, stably maintain the pavement friction coefficient, and fully guarantee the safety of aircraft takeoff, landing and taxiing operations.

Corrosion-Free Protection: Equipped with professional composite corrosion inhibitors, the formula can fully protect aircraft aluminum alloys, magnesium components and carbon brake systems from corrosion damage. Different from traditional chloride deicers that damage structural facilities, this acetate-based solution can extend the service life of industrial equipment and aviation accessories by 40%-60% through professional corrosion resistance tests.

Environmental Compliance: Breakdown happens fast, even in the cold. No toxic ammonia by-products show up while the product is in use. Levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD) stay very low as well. EPA standards for environmental discharge are met in full. Airports, bridges and municipal facilities close to water bodies and ecologically sensitive areas can count on it as their deicing product of choice.

Extreme Temperature Stability: Flow stays good even at -35°C, and deicing efficiency does not drop off. Specific gravity sits at 1.25-1.30. Viscosity is kept low. Because of that design, the solution bites into ice layers fast and melts them. Work at the site then goes much quicker.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

This professional deicing solution relies on the cryoscopic depression principle. Ice crystals are stopped from forming at the root, so deicing and anti-icing both work well. Spray it evenly across pavement and facility surfaces and it soon becomes a stable liquid brine layer. Water molecules can then no longer bond with the ground. Solid ice layers never get the chance to form.

Acetate ions stay active in the solution, and they push the freezing point of water down a long way. Once rain or snow arrives, those ions form a chemical barrier that holds ice back. Clearing snow by hand gets easier, and so does plowing with a machine. A road can then reopen fast. Density in this formula runs high. Water sitting under the ice gets pushed out because of that. The frozen layer lifts away from the pavement, so deicing takes less time and less effort.

The product has corrosion inhibitors built in. The mix itself is proprietary. A dense protective film forms over metal surfaces. Acid corrosion reactions are neutralized. Concrete needs an alkaline pH for protection, and that level is held in place. Low temperatures rise and fall as the weather shifts. The buffering system stays stable. Deicing and protection keep working at a constant level, and no infrastructure material gets damaged.

Applications

Airport Operations: Before a storm arrives, runways can be sprayed. Crews can target taxiways and apron areas with deicing and anti-icing treatment. Professional tanker spraying systems are compatible with it. All winter, airport facilities stay up and running safely. Aviation safety standards get fully met.

Bridge Deck Systems: These work with automatic FAST fixed spraying rigs and with sensor-driven dispensing units, so ice gets stopped on bridge decks right as it forms. The liquid does not clog. It keeps flowing without jamming the equipment. Anti-icing then runs on its own, with no one on site.

Highway Infrastructure: Municipal transportation departments use it often. Busy trunk roads and steep stretches get sprayed. That stops ice before it shows up and melts what is already there. Accident risk goes down when crews spray Potassium Acetate Liquid Deicing Solution ahead of a storm. Chloride also stays away from roadside plants and groundwater.

Industrial Facilities: Built to run mining gear in the arctic, and to handle jobs on drilling platforms. A ballast fluid, that is one job it does. It also works as a heat transfer medium. Thermal stability holds up when it gets cold, so machines keep running in extreme cold.

Potassium Acetate Liquid Deicing Solution vs Other Products

Certifications & Compliance

Our production base holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management. Every step of production follows one set standard, so quality stays the same from batch to batch. KOSHER and HALAL certificates are also valid for this product. That covers the compliance rules that special scenario projects ask for.

All exported batches are accompanied by official COA analysis certificates, fully meeting SAE AMS 1435 aviation industry standards. The products strictly pass ASTM F 483 full immersion corrosion test and ASTM F 1111 sandwich corrosion test, fully complying with the mandatory safety specifications for aerospace deicing fluids.

Packaging Options

Standard Containers: 200L plastic drums with a polyethylene lining. Each drum comes with an anti-counterfeiting seal and safety labels in several languages. A good fit for small-scale engineering work and for emergency reserve stock. Handling and storage stay easy.

Intermediate Bulk Containers: These are 1000L standard IBC tote tanks. Stackable by design, so warehouse space goes further. For municipal long-term procurement and large-scale winter road maintenance projects, no other packaging choice costs less.

Bulk Transport: Goods leave in ISO tank containers, or a tanker truck can do the job. Each load carries between 20,000L and 30,000L. Direct filling comes from us and nobody else. Less handling means fewer chances for product contamination. Large airports and transport departments that buy in bulk fit this well.

Manufacturing Process

What we start with is high-purity acetic acid and potassium hydroxide. Neutralization takes place inside stainless steel reactors. An automatic system keeps pH and temperature in line. So the reaction degree holds steady, and the raw material utilization rate stays firm too.

After the reaction ends, we blend in our own corrosion inhibitors. Quality standards get followed closely too. Batching error stays within ±0.5%. Fine impurities come out during multi-stage precision filtration. That is how the fluid gets the clear look aviation-grade deicing fluid needs.

Our production line has three main quality check points. First comes detection after neutralization. Then we test again after blending. The last check happens at finished product packaging. Before any batch leaves the factory, it goes through a professional corrosion test and a freezing point check. Raw material batches and production time nodes can be traced through the full traceability system. Quality stays under control at every step.

FAQ

Q: Is it allowed to dilute the liquid deicing solution for light-duty anti-icing?

A: A1: Yes, dilution is applicable for routine anti-icing scenarios. Note that diluted solution will have reduced low-temperature resistance and deicing efficiency, so please recalculate the applicable temperature range and dosage before use.

Q: What tank materials are compatible with product storage?

A: A2: For long-term storage, stainless steel 304/316 tanks do the job well. HDPE and fiberglass are good picks too. Unlined carbon steel tanks are a bad idea. They can discolor the product and change its quality.

Q: How long is the effective surface protection period after spraying?

A: A3: The protection duration is 12 to 48 hours, affected by precipitation intensity and road traffic flow. Re-spraying before heavy snow and ice weather can achieve the best anti-icing effect.

Q: Is this product fully safe for aircraft peripheral use?

A: A4: There is no risk at all. The formula was put together by professionals for aviation scenarios, and it follows SAE AMS 1435 standards in full. Aircraft surfaces and core components will not corrode or get damaged.

Q: How long does the product last in storage?

A: A5: Kept sealed in containers that work with it, the product has no set expiry date. After two years in storage, we suggest checking the concentration and the pH once a year. That keeps its performance steady.
