De-Ice
De-Ice provides an electrified, chemical-free technology that melts ice and snow from aircraft surfaces, replacing slow, costly glycol-based de-icing sprays. The system reduces tarmac hold times and weather-related departure delays while cutting carbon emissions from chemical production and idling fuel burn. Designed for commercial and military aircraft, it helps airlines improve on-time performance and eliminate glycol procurement and application costs.

Problem
Aircraft de-icing currently relies on chemical sprays made with propylene glycol or ethylene glycol, which are slow, expensive, and generate significant carbon emissions from production, transport, and heating. Weather-related de-icing delays disrupt airline schedules, hurting on-time performance and increasing fuel burn from aircraft idling on the tarmac.
Solution
De-Ice provides an electrified, chemical-free technology that melts ice and snow from aircraft surfaces. Unlike chemical spray methods, the De-Ice system is fast and efficient, eliminating the need for glycol-based de-icing fluids. By reducing the time required for de-icing, the system helps airlines improve on-time departure performance while cutting costs associated with glycol procurement and application. The technology also reduces carbon emissions by eliminating glycol production impacts and decreasing fuel burn from weather-related taxi delays.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial airlines and military aviation operators seeking to improve on-time performance, reduce operating costs, and lower carbon emissions associated with winter operations.
