Methods are provided which minimize loss of an anti-icing/de-icing composition from a surface. This is accomplished by adhering the anti-icing/de-icing composition to a surface using a film-forming polymeric composition. Methods are also provided for preventing snow accumulation and/or ice formation on a surface, delaying ice and/or snow formation on a surface, extending the life of an anti-icing/de-icing composition on a surface, surface anti-icing, and surface de-icing. These methods include the application of a film-forming polymeric composition and the anti-icing/de-icing composition to the surface. Desirably, the anti-icing/de-icing composition is a reagent which reduces the freezing point of water. |
