NASi SF - Airfield

NASi SF

Meets the latest edition of SAE AMS1431E

NASi SF™ (IceCare & Ecoway SF) is an advanced, environmentally friendly, granulated solid sodium formate deicing product that is certified to the latest edition of SAE AMS1431E. It is specifically engineered to allow for efficient removal of snow and ice from airport runways, aprons, parking lots, and access roads and is designed to maintain adequate friction between aircraft tires and the runway.

NASi SF™ is also effective in landside areas that are sensitive to corrosion such as parking decks, stadiums, institution grounds, parks, bridges, and roadways. In these applications, NASi SF™ helps avoid/reduce the chloride load in waterways when compared to traditional salt.

Advantages

Performance Advantages
  • Lowest working temperature among approved airside solid de-icing products*
  • Lower application rates compared to other solids*
  • Irregularly shaped granules are designed to eliminate bounce and roll so that product stays put
*Per US Air Force Instruction 32-1002
Environmental Advantages
  • Helps airports meet ecological requirements
  • Does not contain nitrites or triazoles
  • Biodegradable with lower COD and BOD levels

Application Rates

NASi SF can be applied with all standard airport solid spreading equipment.

The application of products is distinguished as either anti-icing or de-icing. Anti-icing is to apply immediately prior to the onset of freeze conditions to prevent the bond of precipitation with pavement. It is considered the most efficient use of chemicals. De-icing is to apply product after an event to aid in the removal of ice and snow. The following suggested rates will vary depending on a range of conditions including air temperature, humidity, precipitation type, wind, ground temperature, surface material and application equipment.
