Storage and Handling
NASi Transportation and Mining products are formulated with a proprietary corrosion inhibitor package to improve its compatibility with copper, brass, aluminum, aluminum alloys, zinc, and other metals and alloys. The corrosion inhibitors form a protective barrier between the metal and the liquid runway de-icing products (LRD). All equipment surfaces frequently exposed to de-icing products should be routinely rinsed with warm water (especially before and after the winter season) to prevent residue accumulation, minimize staining, and maintain equipment integrity.
