- Introduction and State of the Art of Anti/De-icing Technologies - SpringerHot liquid de-icing technology mainly uses spraying higher-temperature anti-icing fluid on the icing parts of the aircraft to melt the attached ice layer and achieve the purpose of de-icing. In addition, the de-icing fluid is generally mixed with low melting point liquids such as isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, and ethylene glycol.
- A Pilot's Guide To De-Icing - Simple FlyingDeicing is required if there is a build-up of snow or ice on the plane's surfaces. A plane that has been sitting on the ground overnight might have frost on the wing even if the temperature is warmer than freezing and it isn't actively snowing.
- Deicing - WikipediaDeicing is the process of removing snow, ice or frost from a surface. Anti-icing is the application of chemicals that not only deice but also remain on a surface and continue to delay the reformation of ice for a certain period of time, or prevent adhesion of ice to make mechanical removal easier.
- De-IceUnlike the chemical spray method, De-Ice is fast, efficient, and chemical-free. De-Ice eliminates weather-related departure delays and carbon emissions.
