The Problem
DETERIORATION OF MAJOR STRUCTURES
BRIDGES & ROADWAYS
According to Transportation for America, the need for bridge repair is growing faster than government funding as the average age of an American bridge is 42 years, many exceeding their expected lifespan of 50 years. Our bridges and roadways are major investments that directly effect our future economic prosperity.
PARKING LOTS
A lot of factors such as design, construction, traffic load, and geographic location helps determine the life expectancy of a parking lot. Without proper maintenance a parking lot can start deteriorating significantly in as little as 5 years.

Degraded concrete and rusted, exposed rebar on a bridge
By the end of the last decade, nearly 200,000 of the nation’s roughly 600,000 highway bridges were 50 years old or older. By 2030, that number could double without substantial bridge replacement. At the current rates of aging and replacement, almost half of the nation’s bridges will require major structural investments within the next 15 years.

Alpine Ice-Melt®, a 50% w/w potassium acetate solution, is an environmentally safe and effective alternative to chlorides. It is friendlier to corrosion sensitive infrastructures such as bridges and parking decks, and is effective in the most extreme winter conditions.
Alpine NASi FormiKlear™, a 50% w/w potassium formate based solution, is an advanced, environmentally
friendly de-icing product. Potassium formate 50% w/w has the lowest environmental impact among many de-icing products. NASi FormiKlear™ is more sustainable than using chlorides for roadways and parking lots.
NASi SF™ (Sodium Formate) is an advanced, environmentally friendly, granulated solid that is irregularly shaped to eliminate bounce and roll during application. It is especially effective in applications sensitive to corrosion and chloride accumulation.
