Testing of Aircraft Runway Ice Control Products. Materials Compatibility.

Abstract

New commercial formulations of runway ice control products have recently made their way onto military and commercial aircraft runways. These new ice control products are purchased to AMS/SAE (Aerospace Materials Specifications/ Society of Automotive Engineers) 1431 and 1435. These products have not been tested for compatibility with a number of aircraft materials, many of which are common to both commercial and military aircraft. In addition, there are some materials that are unique to military aircraft; infrared windows for example for which no compatibility testing had been done, To fill this knowledge gap, AFRL/MLSA undertook a study to evaluate the compatibility of these products with aerospace materials. The compatibility testing performed on these products exceeds the AMS/SAE specification requirements. This report documents AFRL/MLSA'S effort to identify possible problems for both commercial and military aircraft with new deicer/anti-icer materials not evident with the previously used ice control materials.
