Anti-Icing prevents the formation or development of bonded snow and ice. As a result, anti-icing provides the benefits of increased safety at the lowest cost. If you wait until ice forms, de-icing requires 5 to 10 times more product to melt ice than what is required to anti-ice in the first place. This is because typical de-icers, due to their lower viscosity, create more runoff and make de-icing highly ineffective.

Zero Gravity B-Free®
Zero Gravity B-Free® is a side release agent that is used to prevent the bonding action of moist material to the rail car, truck bed, chutes or other metal surface. It also acts as a release agent for easy cleaning.Enviro-MLT™
Enviro-MLT™ is a potassium acetate that is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-corrosive de-icing and anti-icing agent. It is equally effective in melting ice as it is in preventing the formation of ice. For this reason Enviro-MLT™ can be used many different ways.
