COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CHEMICAL DEICERS: UNDERCUTTING AND DISBONDMENT. IN: CHEMICAL DEICERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Research has revealed significant differences in the penetration and melt volume capabilities of several deicing chemicals over a range of selected temperature and time intervals. The goal of this paper is to show that these same differences exist with undercutting and disbondment characteristics of those same deicing chemicals. Five chemical deicers are reported in this study. The materials included are: (1) Calcium chloride pellets (CaCl2), (2) Sodium chloride (rock salt)-two suppliers, (3) Potassium chloride (KCl), (4) Pelletized urea, and (5) Calcium magnesium acetate (CMA). The product information on these deicers is presented in the appendix.
