Red de-ices, green protects The Fraport investment company N*ICE Aircraft Services & Support GmbH (N*ICE), a joint venture of Fraport and Servisair, which is responsible for de- icing aircraft, uses a mixture of propylene glycol and various proportions of water in order to de-ice aircraft. The red liquid removes ice and snow from surfaces and control elements, and the green liquid provides the aircraft with refreezing protection, which, depending upon the outside temperature and potential rainfall, lasts until takeoff. When it is very cold and the lead time of the refreezing protection has expired, the protection must be reapplied. In order to give even further consideration to environmental concerns, N*ICE has been applying the innovative N*ICE Advanced De-Icing System (NAD) from all 58 vehicles since winter 2012/13. With separate tanks for water and de-icing agents as well as a modern mixing system, the mixture used for de-icing and anti-icing can be ad- justed to the prevailing conditions depending on the temperature. Fraport uses a potassium formate in a dosage corresponding to the weather conditions to de-ice flight operating areas at Frankfurt Airport. All agents biodegrade quickly and comply with strict environmental requirements. 2014 Compact44 Responsible Corporate Management
