Overview

Type IV Anti-icing fluid is specifically thickened so as to remain on the wing and other aircraft externals, to prevent ice from forming. Type IV products are not used for ice removal, but rather for icing prevention.

Note: Minimum allowed RI for corresponding dilution to meet LOUT requirements. Any dilution higher can be used up to the highest allowed dilution (65/35). Any mixture above 65/35 must not be used.

Handling

  • Thickened fluids are heat-sensitive. It is recommended to restrict the temperature of standby storage heaters to + 60 °C. Special care has to be taken not to cause fluid damage due to local overheating by use of high capacity heating elements. Furthermore, exposure to UV light has to be avoided.

Q: Would it be safe to use on cars or trucks with a dedicated spray bottle?

We sell this for aviation use. It may work fine in an automotive environment but we cannot say for sure. We always recommend using any new fluid on a small test area to be sure it will not negatively impact the finish before treating an entire surface.
