Using potassium formate to prevent the road from freezing

In recent days, everyone has been discussing the rapid change of weather and temperature in the north, and the weather map shows that it is frozen black. In winter, how to clear the ice and snow on the road in time and ensure the smooth traffic has become a major problem for the northern cities. What Chuandong Chemical wants to tell you today is that snow melting agent is commonly used in winter snow removal, because snow melting is convenient and fast, which ensures smooth road and driving safety after snow. But snow melting agent also needs to use environmental protection type. Potassium formate can not only prevent the road from freezing, but also does not pollute the groundwater resources, causing environmental damage.

How to remove snow reasonably, use snow effectively and avoid harm is of great significance to our country, especially to the north area which is lack of fresh water resources.

Chloride will corrode the reinforcement when it penetrates into the concrete, and the volume of the corrosion will expand 2-6 times, which will cause the concrete cover to crack and fall off along the reinforcement, resulting in the obvious decrease or even loss of the bearing capacity of the bridge structure. The improper use of snow melting agent will also promote the freeze-thaw of concrete, and the phenomenon of "salt rise" will accelerate the pavement damage; it will produce chemical reaction with asphalt, resulting in the asphalt surface falling off, and a large area of pavement damage under the action of driving load, which will increase the difficulty and cost of later road maintenance.

Potassium formate deicing and snow melting agent is a non nitrogen salt low chloride product, which has neither dangerous components nor any characteristics of damage and pollution factors, and is harmless to human body and aquatic animals. It can be completely biodegraded in water, and will not cause biological oxygen consumption. Therefore, the deicing agent is a very environmental protection deicing and snow melting agent.

And the new potassium formate non chlorine environmental protection snow melting agent has two to five times the snow melting ability of the ordinary snow melting agent. Even in the low temperature environment, it can also show the ultra-high snow melting performance, and it will not freeze in 24 hours.

From the overall situation and in the long run, it is necessary to intensify the research and development of environmental friendly snow melting agents such as potassium formate, which can not only improve the efficiency, but also reduce the cost.
