Freezing point. I removed some defective information from this paragraph. Freezing points increase not decrease with dilution. As a result, the information provided (undiluted -30 C, diluted -55 C) could not be correct. Rklawton ( talk) 17:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Disagree. I reverted the change and added a reference discussing the "eutectic" point of a mixture. Steve torquay ( talk) 07:09, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
I invite you to have a look at some commercial product data sheets, for example page 12 of the Dow UCAR Deicing Fluid Datasheet. You will see that at 100% concentration of the fluid, the freezing point is -28C. As you add water, the freezing point (surprisingly) decreases, reaching a minimum below -55C at a mixture of 70% fluid and 30% water. Adding yet more water then raises the freezing point, obviously reaching 0C at a mixture of 0% fluid and 100% water. Steve torquay ( talk) 04:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
I believe with most brands of fluids, there is a dilution range were the fluid will operate to its maximum efficiency depending on the ambient conditions. High glycol content fluids have a tendency to have lower freezing points. In particular I understand that Canada has great difficulty using type II and Type IV fluids and revert to using Type I. Now although the holdover time is poor on Type I because it has low viscosity and behaves like a Newtonian fluid the airport infrastructure is set up in many cases that the aircraft can spray and take-off almost immediately. I am aware that LOUT figures can be significantly different from the nominal values. Unfortunately not many de-icing providers in Europe will provide a LOUT test when the temperatures are below -25 degrees Celsius. Safewing ( talk) 22:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
IHS Shows : ISO 11074 Soil quality - Vocabulary - Second Edition, suggest should be ISO 11078 only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.38.188 ( talk) 16:28, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
Can I just ask where the abbreviation ADF comes from? I've never seen it other than where it means Automatic Direction Finder. 212.183.128.33 ( talk) 15:24, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Deicing fluid → Ground deicing of aircraft – Per WP:PRECISION. The current page name is inadequately precise, as the topic could be confused with fluids used for non-aviation purposes or with in-flight fluid deicing systems. Carguychris ( talk) 14:26, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
