Where and How Potassium Acetate Deicer Is Used
Posted by novamen on March 1st, 2017
Winter, with its cold temperatures, snow and ice can be dangerous for pedestrians and vehicles alike. Using a deicer like potassium acetate will enable you to keep roadways, sidewalks and runways free of ice and snow easily and economically. It is a good substitute for chloride salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, especially where environmental sensitivity is a concern. Potassium acetate deicer is less corrosive and less aggressive on soil. It is ideal for airport runways and is highly effective down to temperatures of nearly -60°C. Potassium acetate deicer is quick acting, easy to apply and cost effective; it also requires fewer applications than many alternative deicers and is less slippery than glycol-based deicers.
Potassium acetate deicer is ideal to use in sensitive areas such as bodies of water, farmland, and vegetation, as it has minimal environmental impact. It has low biochemical oxygen demand, does not contain urea, and has a moderate PH level. Its low toxicity to mammals, vegetation, and fish as well as the ability to biodegrade at low temperatures make it a good choice for the environment. It also requires fewer reapplications than some other products and is easy to apply using standard equipment. This makes it a good choice for your bottom line as well.
Potassium acetate can be used in various applications. Apart from deicing, it can be used in well kill fluids, well test work-overs and hydro testing. Its environmentally friendly properties make it a good choice for companies that are concerned about the impact of their business on the environment.
