lexxity Posted October 10, 2007 #28 Share Posted October 10, 2007 No it is actually called Urea, it isn't used very often, only when it gets below -5 over here, that's when salt stops working! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used for runway de-icing because it is not as corrosive to metal as salt compounds. Wouldn't want those 747 wings rusting out:D Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
