Abstract: A method of preventing traffic surfaces from becoming slippery in winter by application of a roadway surface layer made of a composition which is composed of a binder which is compatible with the traffic surfaces and which comprises a thawing agent, enveloped in a temporarily water-impermeable solid-material jacket, and where appropriate, further allures and additives and the temporarily water-impermeable solid-material jacket of the thawing agent is preferably composed of a cured phenolic resin.

Abstract: Preparation of a fine-grained mixture having hydrophobic properties and a grain size substantially less than 0.2 mm and preferable less than 0.1 mm for asphalt-treatment and de-icing, having a hydrophobic component with a hydrophilic component of at least 50% by weight of the mixture and having 55-99.5% by weight of a residual salt which results from the production of glycerol and 45-0.05% by weight of an additive consisting of salts, oxides, hydoxides, and combinations thereof, in the moist condition and at least partially ground with the residual salt, and containing alkali-earth metal or other non-alkali metals as cations.
