Talk:Deicing

Aircraft
Delete "pink" from propylene glycol. Wikipedia describes it as a "tasteless, odorless, and colorless clear oily liquid". If it is pink in aircraft deicing operations, it is only because a dye has been added. Quicksilver 10:30, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Infra-red deicing
The paragraph sounds like an advertisement that mentions only one half of the story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.236.20.32 (talk) 15:53, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of the text and claims in this article about the Radiant infrared system (2007-2008) have been deleted by other editors. (It appears that Radiant is no longer in business.) I have added a small amount of NPOV info about infrared de-icing systems, based on available public information. Moreau1 (talk) 05:09, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Inflatable Wings
Someone is having a bit of a joke here when talking about the SP-PM510 by little known aircraft maker SPP. I've found this which would ever really get off the ground :) SO I have removed this section. 78.86.228.67 (talk) 15:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Pollution due to deicing
Albany international Airport has a glycol waste-to-energy plant that may be worth mentioning. http://www.progressiveengineer.com/pewebbackissues2002/PEWeb%2030%20Sep%2002-2/Albany.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Triskele Jim (talk • contribs) 18:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Corrosion and pollution issues
I added a bit about these concerns. I haven't been able to find a lot of detailed information on these issues and how to mitigate them. There's a 1974 article called the Costs and Benefits of Road Salting, but Google Scholar doesn't show it as being cited at all. There's a few Chinese articles which seem to discuss the problem (e.g., 2004 The Pollution of De-icing Agent and Control Measures, 2000 DEICING SALT'S CORROSION AND DURABILITY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE, and 2008 Study And Development Directions Of Snow Melt Agents) but I don't have access to them.

Deice or De-ice?
Spelling should be consistent. --Goodbye Galaxy (talk) 18:05, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Correct. And it should be at De-icing, as deicing is a clumsy construction and careless disclusion of the hyphen, as with shell-like (sheLLLike). Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 01:01, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

I removed the following, as it is SPAM. 86.40.194.166 (talk) 18:49, 21 March 2013 (UTC) The Road of the Future

I agree spelling should be consistent. Not withstanding the above argument it seems that many standards making bodies, such as the FAA, SAE, EPA, ISO, and DoD, prefer to spell it without the hyphen in their official documents, although even they are sometimes inconsistent. Googling around it seems that both spellings are in common usage, with perhaps the hyphen being more popular in non-aviation contexts. As part of a major reworking of the page I changed the title and content of the article to "deicing" to match the more common spelling in officialdom.

Reorg proposal
This topic has a number of overlapping articles. I'd love your feedback on this proposal to consolidate them.

We should make Ice management the top of the tree, providing an overview of the topic, discussing the areas in which it matters, as in aircraft, ships, roads and roofs and the basic approaches of chemical, thermal and mechanical de-icing.

Given that the approaches are quite different in each application domain, I propose that we write articles on Ice management for aircraft, Ice management for ships, Ice management for roads and Ice management for roofs.

Create separate articls for individual systems for which we have lots of material.

Articles that would go away include:


 * De-ice
 * Ice protection system
 * Icing (nautical)

Separately, Icing conditions would disappear into Atmospheric icing and Hard rime and Soft rime into Rime.

lowest effective temperature
Please add table of lowest effective temperature of various de-icing chemicals.-71.174.188.32 (talk) 15:38, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
