LIQUID ICE MELT
FREEZE CONDITIONING AGENT & LIQUID ICE MELT
Severe wintertime material handling problems can be solved through the use of Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent and Liquid Ice Melt. Products that have been effectively freeze conditioned are: wood chips, coal, coke, dolomite and iron ore pellets.
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agents & Liquid Ice melt functions by changing the crystalline structure of ice formed when the products surface moisture freezes. Modifying the crystalline structure lowers the physical strength of the ice that binds the frozen material together. Because Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt does not prevent the moisture from freezing; the treatment rates are affected by the amount of surface moisture present rather than upon the anticipated severity of the weather.
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is sprayed directly onto conveyor belts to prevent build-up of ice and slippage of materials being moved. The chemical is usually sprayed without dilution. The treatment rate varies with the corresponding abrasive characteristics of the conveyed material. Treatment rates of one Litre per 1000 sq. Ft. of belt/per 8-hour shift have been successfully used for wood chips in the Prince George area. The treatment rate will vary, depending on different conditions.
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is an organic fluid that is free of Sulphur, chlorides and heavy metals. The quality of the material being conveyed should not be affected by the chemical spray. Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agents & Liquid Ice Melt was initially designed for use with wood chips and pulp, and will not harm either chemically. The material has been found to do no apparent damage to conveyor belts and is non-corrosive to steel and other common metals. Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is a high performance, potassium acetate-based, clear liquid deicer that is effective to temperature below -15 degrees F. It replaces common salts like calcium and magnesium chloride. Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is intended for use as a pre-wetting agent to improve the performance of solid deicers like road salt and urea, or on sand. It may also be applied “as is†when speed is critical.

POTENTIAL CUSTOMER PROFILE
Potential Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt customers are typically concerned with deicing speed, environmental issues and or corrosion. They include transporting officials, public works agencies, property management firms and industrial facilities requiring a high-performance liquid deicer for pre-wetting primary deicers like road salt and CMA, or sand. Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is appropriate for direct application when speed is critical. It is also suitable for use on out door mechanical handling systems such as conveyors and elevators, as well as on walkways, rail switches and virtually all-outdoor deicing applications.

PRODUCT PERFORMANCE
1) PRE-WETTING AGENT-Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is an effective pre-wetting agents for CMA, road salt, other solid deicers, and sand. Because Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt has a very low freezing point -26°C (-15°F) and below and is a clear liquid, it significantly improves the performance of solids and does not clog spray nozzles. Applications rates follow and should be consider starting points as local conditions have a significant effect on fluid requirements.
2) ANTI-ICER- Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is an effective anti-icer, sprayed on the pavement before precipitation actually starts. A high traction film then exists to prevent adhesion of ice and snow, which is then mechanically removed. Uniform coverage and frequent plowing to prevent fluid dilution are important considerations in anti-icing programs. This technique is commonly used to keep bridge decks from freezing.
3) DEICER-
a) Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is an effective deicer applied on top of snow and ice. Experience suggests the fluid works best as a deicer if applied in narrow band (10-to 15 cm/4 to 6 in centers). Banding the fluid minimizes dilution from melting, allowing Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt to penetrate to the pavement to break the bonds of ice and snow prior to mechanical removal. Suggested application rates follow.
B) Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is also used as an aid to solid deicers in heavy ice situations. Here, a solid deicer is first applied to punch holes in the ice. Then Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is applied over the top, penetrating through the holes to the surface, quickly breaking the ice-to pavement bonds so that mechanical removal can be more easily accomplished.

4. OTHER APPLICATIONS
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is a freeze point depressant, it lowers the freezing point of water (see Freezing Point Curve). Therefore, because it is also safe for the environment, Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is used in various ways including to:
Þ Coat rail and truck beds, non-porous roofs, road signs, etc. So snow and ice do not
Adhere
Þ Keep rail switches open
Þ Free manhole covers, truck scales
Þ Keep conveyors ice-free
Þ Antifreeze toilet water

Þ In mixture with liquid chloride deicers like calcium chloride
6. SHELF LIFE- Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is stable and may be stored indefinitely if kept in clean, closed containers. Containers not adequately sealed may exhibit biological growth as a result of the fluid prematurely biodegrading. Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt stored in rusty or contaminated containers may experience a reduction in inhibitor concentration and/or show fluid discoloration.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND HAZARD INFORMATION
SUMMARY AQUATIC TOXICITY
A test with Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt show it readily biodegrades at low temperatures and has a relatively low oxygen demand (BOD) when compared to glycol-based deicers.

HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS &
SHIPPING
The RCRA regulations define hazardous waste in two ways: a lited hazardous waste or a characteristic hazardous waste. Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Ice Melt is not a listed hazardous waste. A waste may be considered hazardous if it exhibits any one of four characteristics-corrosively, toxicity, ignitability or reactivity. A waste is corrosive under RCRA if it has a pH less than or equal to 2.0 or greater than or equal to 12.5 Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is not RCRA corrosive, toxic, ignitable or reactive; therefore, it is not a characteristic hazardous waste.
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt contains no hazardous components as described by SARA title III, section 302. Nor is Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Ice Melt designated as a hazardous chemical by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Envirosafe Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice melt does not contain nitrates.
SPILL HANDLING PROCEDURES
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt in not expected to present environmental problems. If product should spill, it should be absorbed and the resulting waste disposed of in a sanitary landfill unless state or local regulations prohibit such disposal.
BIODEGRADATION APPLICATION RATES PREWETTING
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt will speed the effect of solid deicers and abrasives. Ice Melt is applied at the spreader outlet, typically for pre-wetting at rates of 5% to 15% by weight of sold material.
APPLICATION RATE
1.25 GALLONS PER 100 LBS. OF DEICER OR SAND
ANTI-ICING
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is most effective when applied uniformly to pavement surface before freezing precipitation. Prompt mechanical removal of snow and ice is necessary to reduce fluid dilution. Reapplication may be necessary if snow and ice begin to bond to the surface.

0.5 GALLONS/1000 SF
(25 g/m2)
DE-ICING
Envirosafe Freeze Conditioning Agent & Liquid Ice Melt is an effective deicer when applied in a banded pattern to penetrate to pavement surface and break the bond of snow and ice. The amount of deicer needed varies with temperature and thickness of snow and ice, but should be in the following rage.
APPLICATION RATE
~Near 32°F(0°C) on thin ice 1.0 gallon / 1000 sf 50 g/m2
~Less than 10°F(-12°C) on 1†(2.5 cm) ice 3.0 gallon/1000 sf (150 g/m2)
