Potassium Formate (For Deicing and Melting Snow) in Assam
Potassium Formate ($HCOOK$) serves as a superior anti-icing and de-icing agent by disrupting the hydrogen bond network of water, effectively preventing ice from bonding to pavement surfaces. In the context of Assam’s eco-sensitive industrial zones and proximity to the Brahmaputra river, it is the preferred choice due to its readily biodegradable nature and remarkably low Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Unlike urea or glycol-based fluids, our Potassium Formate is non-toxic to aquatic life and soil, making it safe for use in the Guwahati and Kamrup regions. Its exothermic reaction allows for immediate "undercutting" of snow layers, facilitating faster mechanical removal and reducing the overall chemical footprint. This makes it an essential tool for Assam’s PWD and aviation authorities looking for sustainable, long-term infrastructure preservation and passenger safety.
he liquid potassium formate deicing and snow melting agent is a non-nitrogen salt and low-chlorine product. It has neither dangerous ingredients nor features that cause any infringement and pollution factors. It is also non-toxic to humans and aquatic animals, and can be completely destroyed in water. It is biodegradable and does not cause biological oxygen consumption, so the deicing agent is a very environmentally friendly deicing and snow melting agent.
The action mechanism of the deicing and snow-melting agent is to eliminate the adhesion between the loose road surface and the ice and snow, so that the freezing or snow accumulation is more convenient for the removal of snowplows or snow-clearing and deicing machinery.
The deicing and snow-melting agent is easy to use. When deicing and snow-melting the airport runway, it can be done with the general spraying equipment of the airport.
Usage and Dosage:
If the thickness of the ice layer or snow layer is greater than 3 mm, it is not suitable to use the deicing fluid directly. In this case, the snow removal and deicing machinery should be used to remove the surface snow before spraying the deicing and snow melting agent; because this product can prevent the ice layer from sticking to the road surface, it is easy to clean by a snowplow or a deicing machine. It can also be sprayed on the eve of bad weather as a preventive antifreeze.
Because the effect of deicing agents depends on many factors, such as weather conditions (wind, temperature, humidity, rain, snow, frost, freezing rain, etc.), the materials used on the road surface, and spraying equipment. Therefore, the above usage amount is for reference only, and should be increased or decreased according to the specific circumstances in actual use.
Storage and Transportation: Should be stored in clean and clean polyethylene, fiberglass or stainless steel tanks. Any pollution in storage will adversely affect the deicing and snow melting effect. It can be transported by IBC TANK or stainless steel tanker.
