Description
Isomex is an effective liquid de-icer which has been used on airport runways, roads and in facility management for over 30 years.
Easy to handle – Isomex is delivered in a ready to use form with no need to dilute.
Non Corrosive – traditional liquid de-icers contain sodium and chloride which are highly corrosive and damaging to metals, concreate and surrounding infrastructure. In comparison, Isomex is perfectly safe to use in these environments and has consistently achieved the SAE AMS 1435 specification which includes testing by submerging a range a metals and coatings in Isomex for a prolonged period with a pass given when no corrosion or decomposition is observed.
Superior Ice and Frost control - Isomex rapidly penetrates snowpacks or ice and quickly breaks the bond between the ice and the surface, allowing for easy removal and any residual product that remains on the surface will inhibit further ice formation.
Environmental Impact – Isomex has a very low Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) which are critical measures of water pollution. The potassium content within the product also provides a high absorbable source of the nutrient for grass and plants which strengthens root systems and improves drought/stress response.
Sustainability – manufactured in line with sustainable principles that minimises negative environmental, social and economic impacts.
