De-icing Agent

Product Overview

The water-soluble liquid de-icing agent produced by Weifang Jiangchang Chemical Co., Ltd. is a new environmentally friendly product based on plant-derived fermentation alcohols and other eco-friendly ingredients, with a freezing point as low as -60°C. This product is manufactured using an independently developed automated production process and the patented “Drum Granulation Drop-on Technology,” combining excellent low-temperature de-icing performance with ecological friendliness. It is widely applicable to winter de-icing needs across various settings, including urban roads, highways, airports, and commercial venues, while effectively avoiding the corrosion, pollution, and blockage issues associated with traditional de-icing agents.

Technical Principle and Production Process

This water-soluble liquid de-icing agent uses plant-derived fermentation alcohol as its core ingredient, blended with CSJ solution, CTD mixture, and imported additives, and undergoes multiple processing steps to achieve synthesis. During production, the company employs its proprietary automated process and the patented “Drum Granulation Drop-on Technology,” ensuring stable and consistent product performance.

Its de-icing mechanism operates in two key ways: First, once dissolved in water, the de-icing agent significantly lowers the freezing point of the solution, preventing ice and snow from refreezing under low-temperature conditions and thus fundamentally inhibiting road icing. Second, the product exhibits strong hygroscopic properties, actively absorbing moisture from the air and releasing heat to accelerate the melting process, thereby enhancing de-icing efficiency in cold environments.

Eco-Friendly and Non-Corrosive: Based on plant-derived fermentation alcohol, this product is environmentally friendly and free of toxic substances harmful to soil and the environment, avoiding potential long-term issues like soil compaction and salinization caused by conventional de-icers. Special protective additives further minimize corrosion to metals and cement concrete, while post-melting residues can even promote plant growth, fully safeguarding both the ecosystem and infrastructure.
4. No Risk of Pipeline Blockages: Being completely soluble in water, the liquid formulation avoids crystal precipitation due to concentration fluctuations, preventing blockages in pipelines and spraying systems, thereby reducing equipment maintenance costs and failure rates.
5. Cost-Effective and Economical: Requires only small dosages and offers low usage costs. The liquid form ensures even distribution, minimizing waste and splashing compared to uneven application of traditional solid de-icers, resulting in significantly lower overall costs for equivalent de-icing performance.

Core Functions

1. Rapid Ice and Snow Melting: By lowering the freezing point, it swiftly melts ice and snow even at -60°C, complemented by strong hygroscopic heat-release properties that further accelerate the melting process, quickly restoring road accessibility.
2. Long-Lasting Anti-Icing Protection: The protective film formed after de-icing delays secondary icing, reducing the frequency of repeated treatments and enhancing winter road maintenance efficiency.
3. Environmentally Degradable: Plant-based ingredients are biodegradable, leaving no residue that contaminates soil or water, fully compliant with national environmental standards and aligned with ecological maintenance needs.
4. Corrosion Prevention: A specialized corrosion-inhibiting formula effectively reduces corrosion on road infrastructure, bridge reinforcement, and vehicle metal components, extending the service life of facilities and equipment.
5. Convenient Immediate Use: The liquid form can be directly applied using existing sprinkler trucks without additional equipment, cutting upfront costs and simplifying operations.

Target Customer Groups

This water-soluble de-icing agent targets a wide range of entities involved in winter maintenance, including municipal authorities responsible for de-icing city streets, sidewalks, elevated bridges, and tunnel entrances; transportation and highway operators tasked with ensuring winter road safety on expressways and national/provincial routes; airport management agencies guaranteeing de-icing of runways, aprons, and taxiways to maintain aviation safety; large property management companies overseeing pedestrian walkways, parking lots, and courtyards in commercial complexes and residential areas; industrial parks and major factories securing safe winter operations on factory access roads and loading zones; and golf courses and scenic areas, protecting vegetation while ensuring visitor safety.

Application Scenarios and Usage Instructions

The product’s applications span four primary domains, each with distinct usage methods:

For urban road de-icing, simply add the liquid de-icer to the sprinkler truck tank, dilute with water, and spray onto the road surface. Pre-spraying 4–6 hours before snowfall effectively prevents icing, while a 10-minute spray during snowfall rapidly melts accumulated snow, quickly restoring traffic flow.

For highway de-icing, use mechanized spraying systems to evenly distribute the agent along both sides of the roadway, particularly targeting vulnerable sections such as bridges, ramps, and long steep slopes, precisely ensuring winter road safety.

For airport runway maintenance, employ fixed-point spraying systems to de-ice runways and taxiways, ensuring surfaces remain free of ice and snow to support safe aircraft takeoffs and landings, meeting stringent aviation safety standards.

For public facilities and commercial venues, suitable for manual or mechanical spraying in plazas, pedestrian walkways, parking lots, golf courses, and similar locations, flexibly adapting to varying scales and types of sites while protecting vegetation and infrastructure and ensuring pedestrian safety.

Addressing Core Industry Pain Points

Traditional de-icing agents present numerous challenges in winter operations, which this water-soluble de-icer specifically addresses:

1. Infrastructure Corrosion: Conventional chloride-based de-icers corrode bridge reinforcement and damage road surfaces. This product, thanks to its specialized protective formulation, minimizes corrosion to metals and cement concrete, effectively safeguarding roads, bridges, airport runways, and other critical infrastructure, extending their service life.
2. Spraying System Clogging: Inadequate dissolution of traditional solid de-icers often leads to clogs in spraying systems. As a fully water-soluble liquid, this product eliminates crystallization risks, reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime.
3. Environmental Pollution: Traditional de-icers pollute soil and harm plants. This product, made from plant-derived fermentation alcohol, leaves behind residues that promote plant growth, avoiding soil compaction and salinization, thus aligning with ecological sustainability goals.
4. Material Waste: Uneven application of traditional solid de-icers results in significant material wastage. This liquid formulation enables precise, uniform spraying, minimizing waste and lowering usage costs.
5. Low-Temperature Failure: Conventional products perform poorly in cold conditions. This product boasts a freezing point as low as -60°C, remaining effective even in extreme cold, perfectly suited to the winter maintenance needs of high-altitude regions.
