Form: This specification covers a deicing/anti-icing material in the form of a fluid. Application: The fluid is generally used heated either diluted with water@ or as supplied@ for the removal of deposits of frost@ ice@ and snow on exterior aircraft surfaces prior to take off. Consult aircraft manufacturer's maintenance manual and service letters to determine any restrictions relating to the use of deicing/anti-icing fluids for type and model of aircraft being treated. Refer also to ARP4737. The manufacturer shall determine and report the Lowest Operational Use Temperature (LOUT) for the recommended dilutions of their fluid(s). The LOUT for an SAE Type I fluid is the lowest temperature at which the fluid has been tested and certified in accordance with the appropriate aerodynamic acceptance tests (3.5.3) while maintaining the 10 ??(18 ?? freezing point buffer (see ARP4737). Precautions: The deicing/anti-icing formulation may be mildly toxic and contact with human skin and eyes should be avoided. Prolonged exposure to concentrations of vapor and wind-borne mists should be avoided. Consult the manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet for further information. A fluid meeting all other requirements of this specification may not meet the aerodynamic acceptance test in the concentrated form. This fluid shall only be used diluted to the ratios which meet the aerodynamic acceptance test criteria. The fluid shall have a minimum flash point of 100 ??(212 ?? and should be used with extreme care when applied in the immediate vicinity of heaters or engine exhausts. Caution should be exercised in the use of glycol-water deicing/anti-icing solutions in and around aircraft electrical/electronic circuitry with noble metal (including silver) coated wiring or terminals which could come into contact with the fluid. Exothermic reactions@ which may result in fire@ have been reported. This may occur where defectively insulated wires@ switches@ or circuit breakers carrying direct current are encountered. Deicing/anti-icing fluids which are based on glycols shall contain an inhibitor to minimize this potential fire hazard (3.1). Slipperiness: Slippery conditions may exist on the ground or on equipment following deicing/anti-icing procedures. A fluid meeting this specification is unique to the manufacturer and may be adversely affected by mixing with other aircraft deicing/anti-icing fluids. Safety - Hazardous Materials: While the materials@ methods@ applications@ and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials@ this specification does not address any hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and processes and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
