Airports/Runways

Overview

NASi Transportation & Mining has been manufacturing quality liquid runway anti-icing and de-icing products. In addition to offering liquid products, we are pleased to offer dry sodium formate as well. NASi is always looking for opportunities to deliver quality products to our existing markets.

When selecting and applying de-icing products, there is no one size fits all and no two airport needs are identical. NASi is committed to providing products and services that enable airport operators to balance performance, economics, environmental impact, and asset protection.

Catalytic Oxidation of Carbon Brakes

SAE* AIR 5567, an Aerospace Information Report, provides an accelerated test method to determine the impact of runway deicing products to airplane carbon brakes. This method is referenced in the latest editions of SAE AMS1435 and AMS1431 standards as “informational only”. The purpose of this data is to provide “all stakeholders” with a relative assessment of the effect of de-icing chemicals on carbon brakes so that they can make an informed decision as to the runway de-icing product that best fits their needs whether it is carbon brake oxidation, environmental, economics, and/or employee health and safety.

*SAE International is a US based organization that coordinates the development of global technical standards, including:
  • Aerospace Standards (AS)
  • Aerospace Materials Standards (AMS)
  • Aerospace Recommended Practices (ARP)
  • Aerospace Information Reports (AIR)
To learn more or take part in the discussions, you may contact SAE and/or participate in the proceedings of the SAE G-12 Aircraft Ground De-icing Committee.

NASi staff actively participates in various committees and scientific studies in an effort to continuously improve performance, safety, and environmental impact. Please contact NASi if you are interested in de-icing product alternatives that specifically address carbon brake oxidation.

Friction

Numerous laboratory and field studies have been conducted to evaluate the performance of de-icing and anti-icing products and the resulting friction coefficient of treated pavement; however, laboratory results often do not translate to real world field performance due to varying temperatures, wind, traffic, etc. in actual conditions. Airports must rely upon the practical expertise of their personnel to ascertain runway friction. NASi products used together with an effective snow and ice management program enable airport operators to maximize airfield friction.
