Liquid Potassium Acetate (KAc) | Granular Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) | Granular Sodium Acetate (NaAc)
Corrigan Environmental Solutions is an authorized distributor for Cryotech Non-Chloride products. Non-Chloride products that melt ice for a variety of temperature ranges and specified application needs. Best used on areas sensitive to corrosion (steel reinforced structures) and environmental impact (masonry and landscaping).
Cryotech CF7®
Cryotech CF7® liquid commercial deicer is a high performing 50% aqueous potassium acetate solution, by weight, with less than 1% corrosion inhibitors. CF7 is non-chloride based making if safer for structural steel and reinforcing steel embedded in concrete. CF7 is a clear, colorless, moible liquid, free from matter in suspension. It is effective at low temperatures, -25°F (-32°C) and is stable in storage with no agitation required.
CF7 is best used as an anti-icer, sprayed on the pavement before precipitation starts but can also be used a deicer. CF7 is very effective as a prewetting agent for solid deicers such as Cryotech CMA®, Cryotech NAAC®;, road salts, and sand. Due to its low freeze point, -76°F (-60°C), CF7 significantly improves the performance of solids. Because it is a clear liquid free from matter in suspension with low viscosity, it does not clog spray nozzles, even at very low temperatures.
Benefits:
Cryotech CMA©
CMA is best used as a deicer, spread on the pavement after precipitation starts. Effective to the same temperatures as road salt, CMA has many unique performance characteristics. CMA can be used to offset the corrosive effects of chlorides while enhancing deicing performance when blended with road salt at rates greater than 20% CMA by weight.
Benefits:
Cryotech CMA40
CMA40® is a blend of 40% calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) and 60% sodium chloride, or rock salt. CMA is a patented chemical formulation from dolomitic lime and acetic acid. It was first identified as a low corrosion, environmental alternative to road salt by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration in the late 1970’s. CMA is generally used in a solid form and spread on the surface like other deicers. Although CMA is effective to the same temperatures as salt, CMA has many unique performance characteristics. Therefore, first-time users should review product application guidelines closely. Often CMA is used as a corrosion inhibitor, blended with road salt at rates greater than 20% CMA by weight. The more CMA in the blend, the better the corrosion and spalling protection. Cryotech provides CMA and a high-quality grade of salt pre-blended in a CMA concentration of 40% (CMA40). This product is recommended where protection from corrosion and concrete spalling is needed, but limited quantities of salt can be tolerated. CMA/salt blends should be stored with the same precautions as CMA.
Benefits:
Cryotech NAAC®
NAAC® is the leading premium deicer because it is exothermic, releasing heat as it dissolves. Burning through the snow and ice pack, it breaks the bond with the surface to keep it snow and ice free. Its low working temperature and long residual holdover keeps it working longer.
Benefits
Cryotech QS50
Cryotech QS50 is the optimal blend sodium acetate and sodium formate for solid performance. This ideal blend quickly activates, works longer with strong hold over times, enhanced storage stability and low tracking. Cryotech QS50 key performance indicators are its ability to start quickly to melt ice efficiently, especially in dry climate areas, extend hold over time on pavement surface compared to other blends, biodegrades at low temperatures, low toxicity to fish and mammals and low BOD/COD.
