IceClear^® AF

IceClear® AF is a non-toxic, non-glycol, bio-based anti-freeze / heat transfer fluid with multi-metal corrosion inhbitor. Made with food-grade materials, AF is specifically formulated as an alternative to petroleum derived propylene glycol (PG) based anti-freeze fluids. IceClear AF is also supplied without the corrosion inhibitor package under the name IceClear PGX.

Derived from agricultural materials or bio-based processes, this environmentally friendly product is engineered to match the freezing point performance of conventional antifreeze products based on glycols (see Figure 1), but with the following advantages:

Cost-effective

IceClear® AF is formulated from complex carbohydrates derived from renewable resources and/or process side streams that facilitate cost-effective and not subject to the market swings of glycols.

Better Physical Properties

IceClear® AF is more viscous than conventional antifreeze materials. As such, it adheres to particle surfaces and clings to transportation and conveying equipment with little run-off and settling. This prevents freezing, clumping and sticking, and keeps product moving freely.

Won’t Dry Out

Due to its viscous nature and hygroscopic character, IceClear® AF will not dry out after initial application, making it effective for extended periods of time as an antifreeze and a dust suppressant.

Environmentally Friendly

IceClear® AF is non-toxic, contains no salts, heavy metals or solvents, it is non-corrosive, fully biodegradable (with a lower BOD/COD than glycol), and it will not affect combustion processes.
