Liquid Deicer for Railroad & Rail Freight Operations

Liquid Heat Conveyor Belt Deicer & Ice Preventative is listed with a -60°F freeze point and is designed to remain liquid and easy to spray in extreme cold without gelling. Ice Breaker Green Liquid Deicer uses a patented corn-based additive that lowers the freeze point from -20°F to -70°F. Product performance depends on temperature, application timing, equipment, surface conditions, and the facility's winter maintenance plan.

Safety and environmental claims vary by product and application. Liquid Heat Conveyor Belt Deicer & Ice Preventative is positioned as non-flammable and non-hazardous, with ingredients approved by OSHA and EPA. Ice Breaker Green Liquid Deicer uses a magnesium chloride formula with a patented corn-based additive and is 90% less corrosive than traditional salts. Customers should review product labels, SDS materials, storage guidance, runoff controls, and site-specific safety requirements before use.

AAR certification should not be applied to the liquid deicer lineup unless a product-specific approval document confirms it. Zircon's AAR Certified M971-93 Lubricants refer to Dry Graphite Lubricant – Approval M971-93, not Liquid Heat, Ice Breaker Green, or X831 CHILL KILL. For liquid deicer products, customers should confirm the relevant product labels, SDS materials, GSA Canadian Compliant Label documentation, and site-specific rail facility requirements before ordering.

Packaging varies by product. Liquid Heat Conveyor Belt Deicer & Ice Preventative and Ice Breaker Green Liquid Deicer are available in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 330-gallon totes, and tank orders with a 1,500-gallon minimum. X831 CHILL KILL Anti-Frost Pneumatic Tool Lubricant and Deicer is available in 330-gallon totes and tank quantities with a 1,500-gallon minimum.

Yes, for conveyor applications. Liquid Heat Conveyor Belt Deicer & Ice Preventative can be applied using automated spray systems or manual sprayers. Automated systems can help improve application consistency and reduce reliance on manual spraying for conveyor belts, rollers, idlers, chutes, switches, truck beds, and related material handling equipment. Ice Breaker Green Liquid Deicer is generally applied to walkways and facility surfaces with suitable sprayer equipment.

For walkways and facility surfaces, Ice Breaker Green Liquid Deicer provides full liquid coverage compared with the spotty coverage common with dry products. It covers up to 1,500 sq. ft. per gallon, is 90% less corrosive than traditional salts, and can be applied proactively before freezing conditions to help reduce ice bonding on treated surfaces. It should not be positioned as a conveyor belt deicer or pneumatic tool product.
