Clearway F1 is classified WGK1*, both for its excellent biodegradability and because of its low aquatic toxicity. Thanks to these properties, this liquid de-icing solution carries the Blaue Engel (‘Blue Angel’) ecolabel.When applied with the mechanical facilities of airport maintenance departments, Clearway F1 allows snow and ice to be removed quickly and economically.Clearway F1 melts the ice by depressing the freezing point of water. Due to its low freezing point, the resultant solution will have a much lower freezing point.ApplicationsRunway de-icingTDS Eastman Chemical Eastman Chemical Acids,Carboxylic acids,Salts Aviation,Automotive and transportation
