Type I

A de-icing / anti-icing fluid manufactured and qualified to AMS 1424 / ISO 11075 specifications.

Type I fluids are primarily used for de-icing and do not offer any significant anti-icing holdover protection. Because of this Type I fluids are commonly used as part of a 2 step de-icing / anti-icing procedure when the final application of a Type II or Type IV fluid provides the required extra protection.

Kilfrost offers 4 different Type I fluid options.

  1. DF Plus           Technical DF Plus
  2. DF Plus (80)   Technical DF Plus (80)
  3. DF Plus (88)   Technical DF Plus (88)
  4. DFsustain       Technical DFsustain

Type II

A de-icing / anti-icing fluid manufactured and qualified to AMS 1428 / ISO 11078 specifications.

Type II fluids can be used for de-icing purposes but (unlike Type I fluids) also offer extended anti-icing holdover protection and can be used in a variety of ways:

  • Unheated and undiluted (or diluted) for anti-icing
  • Heated and undiluted for de-icing / anti-icing as a one step process
  • Diluted with water and heated for de-icing / anti-icing as a one step process
  • Diluted with water and heated as the de-icing stage in a 2 step process, when used with the unheated and undiluted fluid as step 2

Kilfrost offers 2 different Type II fluid options:

  1. ABC-3           Technical ABC-3
  2. ABC 2000    Technical ABC 2000

Type IV

A de-icing / anti-icing fluid manufactured and qualified to AMS 1428 / ISO 11078 specifications.

Type IV fluids offer maximum anti-icing holdover protection, but can also be used for de-icing purposes. Similar to Type II fluids, Type IV fluids can be used in a variety of ways:

  • Unheated and undiluted (or diluted) for anti-icing
  • Heated and undiluted for de-icing / anti-icing as a one step process
  • Diluted with water and heated for de-icing / anti-icing as a one step process
  • Diluted with water and heated as the de-icing stage in a 2 step process, when used with the unheated and undiluted fluid as step 2

Kilfrost offers 2 different Type IV fluid options:

  1. ABC-S             Technical ABC-S
  2. ABC-S Plus    Technical ABC-S Plus

Runway

A de-icing / anti-icing fluid manufactured and qualified to AMS 1435 specifications for use on aircraft runway/taxiway surfaces.

Kilfrost offers a potassium formate based runway fluid that is applied in cold concentrate form as supplied.

  1. Runway           Technical Runway
