Bio-Based Liquid Runway Deicer
AMS 1435 Certified
BENEFITS
Made without potassium or sodium acetate
Uses corn derived, DuPont Tate and Lyle Susterra® propanediol
Stable in storage at low temperatures
PERFORMANCE
Exhibits anti-icing characteristics similar to Cryotech E36® (SHRP-H-332) Can be used at low temperatures -20°F (-29°C)
ENVIRONMENT
Biodegradable
Free of triazole (TTZ), ethoxylated compounds, nitrites, and nitrates
Recognized as “relatively harmless” by U.S. Fish and Wildlife scale
Notably reduces energy use and greenhouse gas emissions over traditional propylene glycol formulations
APPLICATION
Prewetting - apply at spreader outlet at a rate of 1.25 gallons per 100 lbs (130g/kg) of solid deicer
Anti-icing: 0.5 gallons/1000ft² (25g/m²)
Deicing: 1-3 gallons/1000ft² (50 g/m²) near 32°F (0°C) on thin ice
Below 15°F (-9°C), XT360 must be used in conjunction with a solid deicer such as Cryotech NAAC
Re-apply when new accumulation shows first tendency to bond
Plow and broom often to reduce fluid dilution
Easy to apply with existing equipment
HANDLING
Polyethylene containers are preferred, otherwise use carbon, low alloy, or stainless steel containers
Best practices include storing totes and drums in areas protected from weather and exposure to direct sunlight
Containers must be clean and free of rust, surface deposits, and residues
XT360 and E36 may be blended at any ratio in tanks or on pavement
No anticipated differences in handling or pumping compared to that of E36
