Environmentally Benign Aircraft Anti-icing and Deicing Fluids Based on Cost Effective, Bio-based Ingredients
By substituting several components to bio-based, more biodegradable, and less toxic ingredients, anti-icing fluids (AAFs) that are more environmentally friendly were achieved. Development of these fluids focused on the replacement of alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) surfactants that are toxic, replaceme...
