<p>Improved deicing compositions and methods are provided. The invention is directed to deicing compositions which are substantially less corrosive than allowed for use on aircraft metal parts. The subject invention is also directed at deicing compositions which inhibit the corrosive effects of conventional road salt. The inventive deicing compositions comprise effective deicing amounts of succinate salts, such as potassium succinate (trihydrate), ammonium succinate (anhydrous), sodium succinate (hexahydrate), either alone or in combination. Figure 1 is a graph depicting the ice penetration performance of potassium succinate (present invention) and CMA (a conventional road salt).</p> |
