• Description:
  This report presents the results of 50 anti-icing endurance (AET) tests performed at the Anti-Icing Materials International Laboratory (AMIL) with unsheared samples of two certified Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Type I aircraft deicing fluids: OCTAFLO of Octagon Process Inc. (propylene glycol-based) and ADF Concrete of Union Carbide (ethylene glycol-based). The two candidate fluids were subjected to six different types of icing precipitation under various conditions of temperature and icing rate: frost (3 conditions), freezing fog and snow (6 conditions each), freezing drizzle and light freezing rain (4 conditions each), rain on a cold-soaked wing (2 conditions).
