Aircraft And Runway De-/Anti-Icing Chemicals

Airports and airlines are under constant pressure to remain operational – even in the harshest of winter conditions – without jeopardizing the safety of the passengers.

Clariant is dedicated to assisting customers overcome operational difficulties in adverse weather conditions in aircraft and runway de-icing as well as with new recycling concepts that help the environment and save on waste removal and treatment costs.

Company Profile

  • Aircraft De-/Anti-Icing Fluids

    Safe Take-Off in Ice and Snow

    Even in extreme winter conditions, runways need to be clear and the surfaces of aircraft must be are free from ice and snow before take-off.  This is why Clariant has developed De-/Anti-Icing Fluids, which fulfil all international requirements.

    We apply exacting standards to the quality and reliability of these products. In attaining these standards, environmental protection is given equal priority. Clariant has wide-ranging expertise in research, development and environmental protection. With over 40 years of de-icing industry experience, our aircraft de-icing products ensure the safety that people depend on.

  • Safeway® – An Efficient Way of Runway De-/Anti-Icing

    Clariant, one of the largest specialty chemical manufacturers worldwide, offers liquid and solid runway de-/anti-icing chemicals.

    The specially designed composition of all Safeway® de-/anti-Icers ensures that the corrosion of materials used in aircraft construction is reduced to a minimum. Safeway® runway de-/anti-Icers meet the requirement of internationally recognized Aerospace Material Specification AMS 1431 and AMS 1435 for solid and liquid de-/anti-icers, respectively. Certificates awarded by the independent Scientific Material International Inc, USA (SMI) recognize the compatibility of Clariant de-/anti-icers with various metals and polymer materials.

    Commercial airports and military air bases concerned with the quality of storm water run-off and requiring a high performance de-icer can benefit from Safeway® de-/anti-icers. With increased concerns about de-icing chemicals, airport managers regard Safeway® runway de-/anti-icers as an important tool in managing environmental issues associated with storm water run-off.

  • Safeway® – An Efficient Way of Runway De-/Anti-Icing

    Clariant liquid runway de-/anti-icing products are manufactured and certified according to AMS 1435 specifications.

    Liquid runway de-/anti-icers are be used in combination with “classic” mechanical clearing methods to ensure safe take-offs and landings.

    Clariant’s runway de-/anti-icers offer three distinct advantages: they melt ice and snow effectively, provide protection against re-freezing (holdover) and set new standards in environmental friendliness.

  • Safeway® – An Efficient Way of Runway De-/Anti-Icing

    Clariant solid runway de-/anti-icing products are manufactured and certified according to AMS 1431 specifications.

    Solid runway de-/anti-icers are used in combination with “classic” mechanical clearing methods to ensure safe take-offs and landings.

    For the most economical use of the Safeway® de-/anti-icers, apply the solid Clariant Safeway® product to the ice- or packed snow layer, in which it will develop holes. When the liquid Safeway® de-/anti-icers are then applied, the liquid has a path to the pavement surface and quickly breaks the pack prior to mechanical removal.
