Why are De/Anti-Icing fluids needed in Aviation?
Prevents winter precipitation from adhering to aircraft critical surfaces
Frozen contaminants disrupt the air flow
Increase drag
Decrease lift

De-Icing Fluid
Type I
Applied hot
Orange
Clean off wing
Viscosity similar to water

Anti-Icing Fluid
Type II, III, and IV
Applied cold
Green
Prevent precipitation freezing to the wing and critical control surfaces
Has a ‘Holdover Time’ associated with the ambient temperature, precipitation type and precipitation rate.
Thicken to have consistency of half-set jello

Ethylene Glycol
Organic Compound
C2H6O2
Toxic
Freeze Point = -12C
Used in countries with climatologically colder temps

Propylene Glycol
C3H8O2
Non-toxic
Freeze Point = -59C
Used at most US airports

Frigorific Mixture
Mixture of two or more chemicals
Equilibrium temperature independent of its components
Used for non-mechanical refrigeration

It’s frigorific!!!

Freeze Point Depression
Optimal solution of 70% Ethylene Glycol and 30% water
Freeze point of ~ -55C
Brix measurement of amount of glycol in the fluid
(2009, DOW)

Change in Viscosity during take off
Trade Secret ingredient
A polymer thickener with wind speed sensitive bonds
As wind speed increases the bonds break and lowers the viscosity
At flight speed the fluids flows off the critical surfaces of the aircraft

Summary
De/Anti-Icing Fluid are used on aircraft in winter precipitation
Ethylene and Propylene Glycol
Frigorific Mixture
Fluid is sheered off aircraft at take-off
