Understanding Deicers Must know how to use deicers Effectively and how they work.
What Is Anti-Icing? Anti-icing is a snow and ice control measure to prevent a strong bond between frozen precipitation or frost and a pavement surface by timely application of a chemical freezing point depressant. Proactive approach.
Anti-icing Expectations Snow more easily removed Ice may not form or remain slushy Lower chemical usage Shoveling, plowing, brooming required Lower equipment maintenance costs
What Is De-Icing? De-icing is an measure where a deicer is applied to the top of an accumulation of snow, ice or frost that is already bonded or formed to the pavement surface. Reactive approach.
Using the right equipment For effective snow & ice control
New Bridges, Parking Garages, Elevated Walkways CMA/NAAC/CF7 – “The problem solver”
FHWA - CMA Study Conclusions Concrete w/o rebar Little weight loss or spalling Concrete with rebar No damage 4 Year study Non-metallics Little affect CMA – “The problem solver”
Costs of Using Chloride Based Deicers Cost of new construction - $20,000-$24,000/Space Cost to repair chloride damage $3000-$4000/space Cost of lost revenue while out of service? Cost of inconvenience to customers. Cost of demolition Cost of liability and insurability Can’t afford chloride deicers damage from $50/space of salt over a 20 year period
CMA Effect on Chloride Contaminated Concrete The Danish corrosion centre, 1990 “CMA…seems to delay the onset of corrosion.” BP research centre, 1989 “Changing…to acetate deicer decreases the corrosion rate of steel…by more than a factor of ten.”
