X-2 Additive

This is a magnesium chloride and calcium chloride blended de-icer with corrosion inhibitors. This blend of de-icers has a strong residual presence with a melting speed enhanced by the calcium additive. Surfaces will provide little appearance change, no chalky residue or wet surface present, making its residual effect more difficult to monitor between applications. This concentrate is intended to be used as a salt brine enhancer in the de-icing of surfaces to ensure safe conditions. It can be used as a pre-treatment (anti-icing), direct liquid application (post-plow de-icing), as well as a pre-wetting agent for dry material.

De-icing considerations for use:

  • Ground temperature

  • Surface condition – what moisture is present on the surface?

  • Humidity

 

Blending guidelines for X1 are similar to calcium blending charts.

  • Tests have been completed from 2% to 30%

  • 5% blend rate has been very versatile for many winter conditions. At this rate, variations in application rate (625-1000L/Ha) can accommodate humidity and surface conditions.

  • Temperature guidelines for blending have been adhered to at this point.

  • Spot treatment of ice pack and run off are done at 1125L/Ha

  • Pre-treatment @ 5% blend application rates are 350-425L/Ha

Deviations from current testing data come with certain risks. Monitoring of application performance is important. Please use responsibly.
