Field Usage of Alternative Deicers for Snow and Ice Control
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has released a report that summarizes non-chloride based deicers available on the market at this time, including acetate, formate, glycol, and succinate based deicing products. The report explores the deicers’ feasibility for use as alternatives to chloride based deicers, and identifies next steps to determine if a non-chloride based deicer is a viable option for implementation in winter maintenance operations by MnDOT and local snow and ice removal providers.
