DEICER FREEZING POINTS
Deicer freezing points were determined by Michigan Tech using standard U.S. Federal Highway Administration test methods. Freezing point is fundamental in assessing the effectiveness of deicing chemicals, that is, the lower the freezing point the more efficient the deicer.
PREWETTING
NAAC is most effective as a deicer when prewet at the spreader spinner with E36 liquid runway deicer. Begin at 10% E36 by weight of NAAC and adjust for local conditions.

EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
NAAC may be applied with existing solid deicer spreading equipment. Spreaders should be calibrated for accurate application. NAAC weighs 50-54 pounds per cubic foot, while urea is typically 40-45 pounds. Routine washing with warm soapy water is recommended when equipment is removed from service, followed by a thorough washing after the deicing season.
