Product Summary

GEN3 - Liquid

The results are in for our GEN3 bio-based runway deicers; huge cost saving opportunities are available to our customers and their airline partners:

Airports Save $

Fastest melting and longest holdover = reduced annual volumes

Lower airfield maintenance costs:GEN3’s industry leading qualities have been independently confirmed by SAE AIR5567 corrosion testing. This will dramatically reduce maintenance costs on airfield equipment and lighting systems. We will provide you with our numbers, will other companies do that?

Airlines Save $

Dramatically reduced maintenance costs to repair aircraft brake and wiring damage caused by 50% Potassium Acetate runway deicers. See our technical section for more detail on these serious safety issues and the costs required to properly mitigate them.

Airports spend less benefiting local airline budgets.GEN3 runway deicers outperforms all other deicing liquids, is non-toxic, AMS1435 certified, approved for use by the FAA and is very cost effective. We offer different GEN3 blends to suit your local airport needs.

IceCare - Solid*

Ice Care – Solid Runway Deicer is a new sodium formate granular deicer that reduces handling dust by 75%. This solid deicer and anti-icer is fast-acting and environmentally acceptable for use on all airside operational surfaces as well as landside applications. IceCare – Solid Runway Deicer is manufactured to meet the strict performance and ecological requirements of AMS 1431. When stored properly indoors, IceCare has a shelf life of at least 5 years.

AIRCRAFT DAMAGE CORROSIONThe Results Are In For GEN3

Airport experience and laboratory tests show that GEN3 acts fast and lasts longer than competing liquid products. Think what this added performance will do to enhance your snow removal capabilities.

Holdover and Deicing Performance

Better HoldoverIncreased hold-over = effective for longer = fewer applications = cost effective and environmentally beneficial.

GEN3 technology is designed to give better hold-over, thereby reducing the number of applications required per winter event.

Field trials carried out at major international airports have shown GEN3 to outperform commercial acetate and formate runway deicers in all respects.

The two deicers on test are laid side by side on snow contaminated runways at the identical time and application rate. As the chart and pictures show GEN3 melts the contamination faster and prevents build-up for longer than competitor products.

After 15minutes After 90minutes

GEN3: Large areas melted Competitor: Shows first spots

GEN3: Completely free. Remaining spots are loose slush and ice slates.

Competitor: Max 50% free. Partly covered by new snow, below still icy.

Deicing Performance

Following side-by-side tests of GEN3 vs. a leading 50% PA “With active precipitation falling within the first two hourly intervals, the GEN3 side of the runway appeared darker, indicative of a more active chemical reaction and extended holdover qualities” Paul Sichko, Minneapolis Airport Operations

Ice Melting Efficiency indicates how much ice is melted over time. The chart illustrates tests by an independent laboratory that prove GEN3 to melt more ice than a popular commercial Potassium Acetate RDF.

It’s good to know that GEN3’s high performance is more predictable and longer lasting.

Airport Corrosion Damage

Stop corrosion, Save money!

Extend Life of Infrastructure & Ground Vehicles

Some current deicers degrade commonly used materials and cause significant dam-age to the infrastructure of an airport:

Galvanized equipment shows serious corrosion even after one winter of exposure.

Short circuits on plugs such as GPU.

Damage to cables, electrical wirings, plugs, runway lighting.

Damage to concrete surfaces.

Damage to brake discs of units being exposed to runway deicing products.

This damage is avoided only by frequent washing of equipment, which becomes a major cost issue.

Reduced Electrical Conductivity = fewer short circuits and less corrosion

GEN3 technology is by design less conductive than potassium deicers, as typically the more conductive a chemical the more corrosive it is. Significantly reducing conductivity in fluids coming into contact with electrical equipment helps eliminate the corrosion to electrical parts and the shorting of electrical systems.

GEN3 actively reduces this sort of corrosion caused by other deicers.

Aircraft Corrosion Damage

Stop corrosion, Save money and lives!

Corrosion caused by other Runway de-icers

Brake part embedded in lower wing. Corroded wire bundles. Corroded & failed brake piston. Corroded control connectors.

GEN3 actively reduces these very expensive safety and maintenance problems for airlines and airports.

SAE AIR5567A test for aircraft brake damage due to runway deicer exposure.

GEN3 formulations significantly reduce carbon brake oxidation, greatly extending the lifespan of aircraft carbon brakes.

Safe Runway for Pilots

Pilots expect a safe runway. They define “Safe” as high friction values to ensure full braking action is always available. Pilots not only expect a well cleaned runway but also a treatment with chemicals that does not influence the breaking coefficient.

FAA Friction Tests

For the American FAA this was so important that they conducted extensive testing with several deicing products. In the tests chemical and water were applied alternately, so any possible build-up could be detected.

GEN3 Gives Outstanding Friction

The results show that the GEN3 gives better friction than all competitor prod-ucts. The chart below compares GEN3 to Potassium Acetate 50%.

Friction tests carried out by the FAA

Bio-Based Technology – Low Environmental Impact

When developing GEN3 one of the prime targets was to have a fully bio-degradable product that has as little impact on the environment as possible.

GEN3 is 100% biodegradable and completely harmless to all water treatment plants.

GEN3 gives excellent LC50 values.

GEN3 has a 50% lower carbon footprint than PA 50%.

GEN3 is beneficial to the water treatment facility as it is a clean source of food for the facility bugs, promoting their growth.

GEN3 has a high holdover time, allowing for fewer deicing events.

GEN3 is bio-based technology that is made from renewable sources and therefore quickly bio-degradable.

Studies show GEN3 runway deicer can help reduce oxygen demand and is 50% less toxic to the environment.

Application & Storage

GEN3 IceCare

Deicing

(Typical use: 1 litre /25m2) (Typical use: 1 kg /40m2)

Anti-icing

(Typical use: 1 litre /60m2) (Typical use: 1 kg /70m2)

Pre-wetting

Equipment Standard liquid spraying units can be used. Check with equipment manufacturers for exact recommendations.

Conventional mechanical spreaders are acceptable. A combination spreader or one which “prewets” the solid at the spinner with a liquid deicer/anti-icer will further improve performance.

Storage and Handling Storage tanks are recommended to be of stainless steel, fiberglass, reinforced plastic or mild steel coated with a protective liner. Clean and inspect equipment before and after the winter season.

Solid should be stored in its original container in a cool, dry, well ventilated area to avoid moisture pick-up and caking. During the deicing season, unused portions of IceCare – Solid can be stored in piles, protected from precipitation, without caking difficulties. When handling IceCare – Solid, avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Prewetting of IceCare is not necessary, but it will further improve melting efficiency and adhesion. (Typical use: 70 parts solid to 30 parts liquid.)

The primary purpose of the chemical deicing is not to melt surface ice, but rather to diffuse down through the snow and ice to break the bond between frozen precipitation and the runway.

The most cost effective way to utilize runway deicing fluid is by preventing frozen precipitation from sticking.
