The manufacturer tell you potassium formate is also a kind of organic snow melting agent
Ice and snow accumulation in winter not only affects traffic, but also brings serious hidden danger to traffic safety. At present, there are two ways of snow melting and deicing: mechanical snow removal and chemical snow removal. Mechanical deicing is fast and efficient, but it has some disadvantages, such as poor rate of deicing, easy to damage the road surface, and many places such as sidewalk can not be removed. The deicing method of chemical deicing agent can make up for the shortage of mechanical deicing, which is an effective method of deicing. The manufacturer tell you potassium formate can not only be used as foliar fertilizer, but also as an organic snow melting agent.
Types of snow melting agents
One is the organic snow melting agent with potassium acetate as the main component. This kind of snow melting agent has good snow melting effect, basically no corrosion damage, but the price is too high, and it is generally used in important places such as airports.
The other is inorganic snow melting agent with "chlorine salt" as the main component. Although the price is cheap, the corrosion of large public infrastructure is very serious.
At present, potassium formate is also a kind of organic snow melting agent. The use of potassium formate is a relatively environmental friendly snow melting agent, because it does not contain chlorine, sodium and other substances that damage the soil, and it also avoids some potential hazards such as soil hardening and salinization caused by the long-term use of snow melting agent.
In addition, the use of potassium formate as snow melting agent can also increase the fertility of the soil, supplement some of the microelements in the soil, and also play a role in snow melting and fertilization. Potassium formate is an environmental friendly snow melting agent. It is environmentally friendly and has no harm to the road surface, green plants and public facilities. It is an environmentally friendly product to minimize the impact and damage of snow melting agent on the road and the environment.
