Kilfrost, the global market leader in the supply of de/anti-icing products for the aviation industry, has launched a new online tool to assist airports, airlines and ground handling crews when using de/anti-icing fluids to keep transport safe and on schedule during the winter months.
Preparations for winter are already underway at Kilfrost and the launch of the Freeze Point Dilution Rate Calculator for aviation customers across the globe will make applying the correct dilution of de/anti-icing fluid simpler. The correct ratio of inhibited glycol to water can be calculated to enable optimum performance of Kilfrost’s de/anti-icing fluids.
The new tool enables users to quickly and efficiently determine an accurate freeze point dilution rate, ensuring the correct dilution of de/anti-icing fluid is applied to an aircraft when cold weather hits. The new device saves valuable time and can be used in the field so that transport is maintained at all times, especially during harsh winter conditions.
Gary Lydiate, Chief Executive of Kilfrost commented: “Kilfrost has been satisfying the operational, safety and maintenance needs of the aviation industry for over 80 years and is continually investing in research to ensure our products maintain reliability and are easy to use.
“In response to customer demand we have provided a tool to ensure that Kilfrost’s products are used in the correct manner for optimum results.”
The Freeze Point Dilution Rate Calculator is available on the Kilfrost website and is also available as a mobile version for ease of use on the majority of smart phones.
