When autumn turns to winter we meet a number of de-icing needs. Black ice forms without warning and walkways and stairs get suprisingly slippery. On roads and railways the winter time is very challenging and the maintenance requires high know-how and excellent operational infrastructure. In addition, contractors might face problems when the soil loads freeze to the platforms and it is difficult to unload them. Life simply becomes more difficult.
The right chemistry and the optimized methods give many opportunities to fight against slipperiness and freezing. We offer you an excellent solution for de-icing and anti-icing and also take into account the environmental effects, operational safety and material effects.
Eco-Melter® product family
Eco-Melter® de-icing and anti-icing products are designed for demanding winter conditions. Products represent modern de-icing chemistry and are environmentally sustainable and rapidly biodegradable in the soil. In addition, products are safe to use and have a low impact on different materials.
Eco-Melter® products are completely chloride free. The inherent corrosive impact of the products to metals and concrete is lower than with the conventional chloride salts.
In a number of laboratory and field experiments it has been found that Eco-Melter® products are fully decomposed to carbon dioxide and water in the soil before reaching the groundwater. For this reason, the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) recommends replacing conventional road salt by formates on important groundwater areas.
Eco-Melter® products are suitable for a variety of de-icing and anti-icing applications.
Liquid de-icing agent, 100 % biodegradable
Packaging: Bulk, 1000 liters IBC-containers, 200 liters drums, 20 liters can
Eco-Melter® L is suitable for many of the most typical de-icing and anti-icing applications. The product contains a large amount of active ingredients, which is why it reacts rapidly and effectively with snow and ice. Eco-Melter® L is suitable for anti-icing at very low temperatures.
The product is particularly well suited for locations where excellent de-icing ability and the lowest possible corrosion and environmental impact are required. Product is suitable for use in groundwater areas.
Solid de-icing granule, 100 % biodegradable
Packaging: 1000 kg big bags, 500 kg big bags, 200 kg big bags, 25 kg bags
Eco-Melter® S granules are an excellent solution for effective and long lasting anti-icing for all kinds of applications. The product has an irregular granule shape and thus when applied, it adheres and remains on the treated surface excellently.
As a solid product, it can also be used in demanding weather conditions and has been found to be active at temperatures down to -15 °C. When mixed with gravel, Eco-Melter® S significantly improves the functionality of the gravel. Product is suitable for use in groundwater areas.
Liquid de-icing agent, 100 % biodegradable
Packaging: Bulk, 1000 liters IBC-containers, 200 liters drums, 20 liters can
Our new product Eco-Melter® LN solutions is excellent for removing frost and rime. In addition, the product can be used, for example, in pre-wetting a solid Eco-Melter® S product. Product is suitable for use in groundwater areas.
Liquid de-icing agent, 100 % biodegradable
Packaging: Bulk, 1000 liters IBC-containers, 200 liters drums, 20 liters can
Eco-Melter® LM is a new, environmentally friendly de-icing and anti-icing innovation. The product is particularly suitable for anti-icing and for areas where good de-icing ability is required. The product contains an optimized amount of active ingredients, and as a cost-effective solution, is is versatilely suitable for different winter conditions and applications. Product is suitable for use in groundwater areas.
Liquid de-icing agent, 100 % biodegradable
Packaging: 1000 liters IBC-containers, 200 liters drums, 20 liters can
Eco-Melter® L PRO is the most effective de-icing and anti-icing solution on the market, even at low temperatures. Eco-Melter® L PRO is developed for professional use and especially demanding conditions. Product has a high ice-melting capacity and long-term effect.
The product is easy to spread even at very low temperatures and it reacts immediately to ice and snow. Product is suitable for use in groundwater areas.
Eco-Melter® RAIL product series has been developed especially for railway applications and other places that require low material effects (e.g. windmills and special industrial applications).
Liquid de-icing agent, 100 % biodegradable
Packaging: Bulk, 1000 liters IBC-containers, 200 liters drums, 20 liters can
Eco-Melter® RAIL is a biodegradable de-icing and anti-icing product. It is particularly suitable for places where great de-icing ability and the lowest possible corrosion effect are required. The product is also an excellent option for areas where the electrical conductivity of the used product must be low (e.g. electrical switches).
Solid de-icing granule, 100 % biodegradable
Packaging: 1000 kg big bags, 500 kg big bags, 200 kg big bags, 25 kg bags
Eco-Melter® S-RAIL is a biodegradable solid de-icing and anti-icing product. Product can be used effectively both for anti-icing prevention and to melt ice and snow. As a solid product, it also works very well as anti-icing product, for example when freezing drizzle and snow are expected. When mixed with gravel, Eco-Melter® S-RAIL significantly improves the functionality of the gravel. Product is suitable for use in groundwater areas.
