SUMMARY OF EVALUATION FINDINGS FOR THE TESTING OF ICE BAN

This report describes a comprehensive laboratory and field evaluation designed to determine the effectiveness of Ice Ban anti-icing/deicing products in snow removal and ice control operations. The evaluation was planned and guided by a HITEC Technical Evaluation Panel composed of experts in snow and ice control technology and research. The laboratory testing was performed by independent laboratories using established testing protocols. The field trials were conducted over the past three winters by eight volunteer highway agencies. The study findings confirm that Ice Ban products can indeed be an effective aid to snow and ice control operations by melting snow and ice faster and at lower temperatures than traditional ice control agents, with little or no adverse effects on roads, infrastructure, or vehicles.
