Deicing composition
View Patent ↗A deicing composition is provided. The composition includes a potassium or sodium salt of a carboxylic acid and a lithium salt of a carboxylic acid or lithium nitrate, wherein the molar ratio of lithium to potassium or lithium to sodium is from 10 percent to 80 percent.
1. A deicing composition consisting essentially of:
a) a potassium or sodium salt of a carboxylic acid;
b) a lithium salt of a carboxylic acid or a lithium nitrate, wherein the molar ratio of lithium to potassium or lithium to sodium is from 10 percent to 80 percent; and
c) a phosphoric acid derivative or silicate corrosion inhibitor.
2. The deicing composition according to claim 1 , wherein the carboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of formic, acetic, propionic, glycolic, and lactic acids, and mixtures thereof.
