De-icing

During winter, ice and snow pose a safety risk in traffic. Our formate and acetate based products are used at airports to ensure safe take-offs and landings by keeping runways clear of ice and snow. On roads, de-icing improves road safety as well as traffic flow.

We are proud to offer both liquid and solid products, which meet increasingly stringent environmental demands.

The Clearway® branded runway de-icers allow improved safety and optimal use of airport runways and taxiways, even in harsh winter conditions.

Meltium™ products offer effective and environmentally-friendly alternatives to conventional road de-icers. In winter, tunnels, bridges and motorway ramps are especially difficult to keep free of ice and snow. Meltium™ products are excellent solutions to meet these challenging conditions.
