1. SCOPE:

1.1 Form:

This specification covers a glycol-base deicing/anti-icing material in the form of a liquid.

1.2 Application:

This fluid has been used typically on airport runways and taxiways for the prevention and removal of frozen deposits of frost and ice, but usage is not limited to such applications.

1.3 Precautions:

1.3.1 Deicing/anti-icing formulations may be mildly toxic and contact with human skin and eyes should be avoided. Prolonged exposure to concentrations exceeding the established threshold limit values (TLV) for the product or its major components should also be avoided.

1.3.2 Caution should be exercised in the use of aqueous glycol deicing/anti-icing solutions in and around aircraft having silver or silver-coated electrical/electronic circuitry. Dehydrolysis reactions which result in fire may occur when such aqueous glycol solutions contact silver or silver-coated circuits, such as defectively insulated wires, switches, or circuit breakers, which are carrying direct current.

1.3.3 Airport authorities should ascertain the friction coefficient of the runway after application of the deicing/anti-icing fluid.

1.4 Safety - Hazardous Materials:

While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and processes and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
