In order to ensure the smooth railway running and eliminate safety risks, railroad use ice melt deicer is developed, which turn snow and ice on rail tracks into liquid. Thus, it helps avoid the dangers such as out of control, trackslip, and rear-end collision of trains. Meanwhile, it is noncorrosive, and can effectively protect the railways and road base. This product has fast speed for melting snow and secondary freezing can be eliminated. Corrosion to ground is 20 folds weaker than ordinary products, thus extending the service life of railway tracks. Though deliquescent, it is harmless to humans, animals or other objects and melted products can be directly discharged to the sewer.

Railroad use ice melt deicer is widely used in railways, railroads and railroad tracks, etc. It can also be spread around of coal and sand as well as other related s, so as to prevent them from icing and make material unloading convenient. It can be used in environments with temperatures ranging from 0 to -60℃.This product is either granular or powder. Weight per bag is 25Kg and the packaging is waterproof. Of course, custom packaging is also available. This product is non-toxic, odorless and inedible. For methods of application, there are three and they are manual throwing, machine spreading and spraying solutions with different concentrations. Spill burn should be prevented because railroad use ice melt deicer can generate high heat after contact with water. Many other considerations should also be included such as snowfall speed, snowfall volume, ice thickness, temperature, traffic and so on. Pre-spreading of a certain amount has better effect.
