What is the advantage of potassium formate compared with traditional chlorine salt snow melting agent? The manufacturer tells you

Recently, the first snow in 2020 has come to the north. The impact of heavy snow on traffic is not only during the snow, but also after the snow. According to the principle of "mechanical snow removal as the main and snow melting agent as the auxiliary", timely clean the snow on the road area to ensure the safety and smooth of the roads in the city. Potassium formate is also a relatively environmental friendly snow melting agent used in the snow removal battle.

The traditional snow melting agent is actually some salt substances, such as the common salt in the kitchen, which can be used as snow melting agent. The principle of snow melting agent is not complicated. After adding salt, the melting point of water will be reduced, so the solid snow or ice will turn into water.

Salts, also known as electrolytes, conduct electricity when dissolved in water. When the melted snow water has conductivity, the direct harm it brings is corrosiveness. For example, the steel used for automobile chassis belongs to alloy, which is composed of different metals. Under normal conditions, it has certain corrosion resistance. However, when the steel is exposed to the salty snow water, it will produce the so-called "primary battery effect" and accelerate the rusting.

The residual salt in the soil will also become a serious source of pollution. It will enter into the river water system along with the sewer system, leading to the improvement of the salt along the way. If the agricultural irrigation land uses these water sources, in the long run, there will be problems such as land salinization, which is a very bad environmental disaster.

Environmental friendly snow melting agent is mainly used as potassium formate. Compared with traditional salt snow melting agent, the advantage of potassium formate is that it is a non nitrogen salt low chloride product, which has neither dangerous ingredients nor any characteristics of causing any damage and pollution factors, and it is harmless to human body and aquatic animals. It can be completely biodegraded in water body, and it will not cause biological oxygen consumption. Therefore, the use of potassium formate as a snow melting agent is a very environmentally friendly deicing snow melting agent.

When the road surface is sprinkled with potassium formate snow melting agent, it will not cause corrosion to the car's tires and chassis. Therefore, potassium formate is also a deicing and snow melting agent used in airport runways, taxiways and aprons to maintain the friction coefficient of the road surface to the maximum extent and ensure the safe and normal taxiing, takeoff and landing of the aircraft, so it plays an unparalleled role in ensuring the flight safety.
