Cryotech NAAC® is a high performance solid de-icer for airport runways, taxiways and aprons. It is a 97% anhydrous sodium acetate with less than 1% inhibitors by weight.
Cryotech NAAC® contains no chlorides, has excellent melting properties, works faster than urea and sodium chloride, is active at low temperatures (-18C°) and requires less material to achieve similar effectiveness.
Benefits
- Works longer, requiring fewer applications
- Applies easily with the same equipment as other solid de-icers
- Tracks less due to pure materials in manufacturing
- Contains 97% active ingredients for high performance
- Manufactured as a spherical pellet to be less dusty than granular de-icers
Performance
- Excellent melting properties
- Exothermic, giving off heat as it dissolves
- Works faster than urea, sodium chloride, and trihydrate sodium acetate
- Requires less material than common de-icers to acheive similar effectiveness
- Active to low temperatures: -18°C
Environment
- Lower BOD than urea
- Biodegrades quickly at low temperatures
- Low toxicity to fish and mammals
- Less persistent in the environment than sodium formate and urea
Application
- De-icing - apply in uniform patterns:
- Near 0°C on thin ice apply 25-35 g/m²
- Less than -12°C on 2.5cm ice apply 50-75 g/m²
- Re-apply when new accumulation shows first tendency to bond
- Plow once bond is broken
- Prewetting - airports may apply Provifrost KA ECO or Provifrost KF ECO to NAAC at spreader outlet at a rate of 10% by weight
Handling
- Store in original container
- Avoid excess moisture which may cause caking
- Excessive handling may cause dustiness
Packing
Cryotech NAAC® is available in 25 kilo, 500 kilo and 1,000 kilo bags.
