Cryotech E36® Liquid Runway Deicer

Description of E36

E36 liquid runway deicer is a potassium acetate-based runway deicer that was approved for use in the U.S. in 1992. Because of its high performance and low environmental effect, the use of E36 expanded rapidly at airports and military bases. Airport maintenance personnel are called upon to keep runways clean and safe without harming the environment. With legislative and environmental pressures mounting, airports have changed deicing practices. E36 set a new standard for runway deicers.

E36 has been shown to be safe for use at air force bases utilizing the B-2 Bomber. Per testing by Northrop Grumman, "All test specimens were unaffected by the exposure of Cryotech E36 runway anti-icing fluid."

Please see the E36 Fact Sheet for a brief summary of E36's benefits, application information, and product specifications.

Advantages of E36

E36 is a high performance, environmentally responsible alternative to glycol and urea based products. Experienced users make the following observations about E36.

High Performance

• Excellent anti-icing and deicing characteristics.
• Faster than other runway deicers.
• Effective to temperatures below -20°F (-29°C).
• Works longer; requiring fewer applications.
• Less slippery than glycol-based products.

Environmentally Responsible

• Does not contain urea or glycol.
• Lower Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) than glycol-based runway deicers.
• Biodegrades at low temperatures.
• Biodegrades to carbon dioxide and water.

Safe for Aircraft

• Authorized for use at airports by FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-30A.
• Meets material compatibility requirements of SAE AMS 1435.
