Fuel anti-icing additive ICE5
ICE-5 kerosene fuel anti-icing additive "DiEGME".
ICE-5 is a fuel anti-icing additive for turbine fuel. ICE-5 is a fuel icing inhibitor witch is usually mixed in the fuel at rates of 0.10% up to 0.15% by volume. (*)
If the aircraft has not a heating system for the fuel, small amounts of free water in the fuel can freeze and block fuel lines, filters and valves.
Properly used ICE-5 will prevent icing of the water in the fuel system.
A side effect of ICE-5 is inhibition of bacteria-growth in fuel tanks.
Careful mixing of ice-inhibitors such as ICE-5 DiEGME is very important ; just pouring the product in the tanks will result in insuficient mixing and separation of the inhibitor with the fuel.
For direct addition at refueling, ICE-5 aerosols are very handy. Aerosols are deliverd with a flexible tube and clip for direct dosing in the stream of jet fuel coming out of the nozzle.
ICE-5 complies with ASTM-D4171-03 and the chemical properties are according MIL-DTL-85470 AL41 MIL-DTL-276686.
ICE-5 is available in bottles of 1 lit, 500 ml Aerosols and 200 lit barrels.
