  • Deicing solution
    Patent number: 7045076
    Abstract: A deicing formulation which includes at least one carefully selected and further processed agricultural by-product selected from BCS, DCS and CCSL, a chloride salt and water. The formulation has a viscosity of 100 to 140 centipoises at 0° C. (32° F.), and a liquid adhesion rating of at least 4. Each of BCS, DCS and CCSL contain a low molecular carbohydrate fraction in an amount sufficient to lower the freezing point threshold value of the formulation.
