DISCHARGE: Liquid Ethylene Glycol is blended, orange colored paint is mixed and it is easily distinguished.

The viscosity is very low and can flow easily from the ground. The freezing point is lowered by mixing with water. The average freezing point of a 50/50 liquid-water mixture is -28 ° C.

Frozen materials on the plane are cleaned with liquid steam heated at high pressure. It must be heated between 65 ⁰ C and 82 ⁰ C during use, it is cleaned by heat and mechanical treatment.

Defrosting should be considered as chemical exposure at the time of application.

Air conditioning packages should be OFF to prevent liquid mist.

Glycol buildup can cause itching in the ear, nose and throat, headache, nausea, vomiting and dizziness.

Upon completion of the deice and / or anti-ice application, the ground crew must provide cough information about the fluid type, mixing ratio and the end time of the process.

This information should be used in waiting time charts.

It should be noted that the holding times are not exact values.

Protection times are reduced depending on different weather conditions, if OAT is present, strong wind, jet explosion and fuel temperature.

These hours are used as a guide for pre-departure control.
