Clearway F1

Eastman’s de-icers are marketed under the brand name Clearway&reg;. Clearway is acknowledged as one of the leaders in airport runway de-icing and the product range has been developed and expanded to include both liquid and solid formate-based and acetate-based products.</p> <p>Based on a formulation of potassium formate and corrosion inhibitors, Clearway F1 is an effective de-icer for airport runways, taxiways and aprons. The product meets not only all relevant environmental and ecological requirements but also the AMS 1435 standard. Clearway F1 is classified WGK1*, both for its excellent biodegradability and because of its low aquatic toxicity. Thanks to these properties, this liquid de-icing solution carries the Blaue Engel (‘Blue Angel’) ecolabel.</p> <p>When applied with the mechanical facilities of airport maintenance departments, Clearway F1 allows snow and ice to be removed quickly and economically.</p> <p>Clearway F1 melts the ice by depressing the freezing point of water. Due to its low freezing point, the resultant solution will have a much lower freezing point.</p> <p><i>*WGK is a German method of classifying chemicals into three (1-3) Water Hazard Classes. Following several tests the Clearway products have been classified as Class 1: low hazard to waters.</i></p>
