LNT Airside Solid is a high-purity 98.5% sodium formate de-icer specifically developed for use on airport runways, taxiways and aprons. The free-flowing granules rapidly penetrate the ice-to-pavement bond, reducing ice adhesion and promoting fast, effective ice removal while helping to restore surface friction.
Key Benefits
Delivering fast, dependable performance to minimise disruption during winter weather.
Helping to maintain surface friction and support confident aircraft movements in challenging conditions.
With a chloride-free formulation designed to be non corrosive, making it safe for infrastructure, equipment and carbon brake-equipped aircraft.
Offering effective ice control with a reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional de-icing salts.
Combining proven winter performance, reduced maintenance requirements and reliable supply to support resilient airport operations.
Designed for the demanding aviation environment, LNT Airside Solid delivers reliable low-temperature performance with significantly lower corrosivity than traditional chloride-based de-icers, helping to protect aircraft, airfield infrastructure and ground support equipment. Its has a low environmental profile supporting airport environmental and sustainability objectives, providing an effective and responsible solution for maintaining safe winter operations.

Airside Solid Runway Deicer FAQs
LNT Airside Solid provides effective de-icing performance at temperatures down to -19°C. Performance will vary depending on factors such as pavement temperature, weather conditions, ice thickness and application rate.
Sodium formate begins working immediately upon contact with snow and ice. The product is anhydrous (without water) and exothermic (generates heat)meaning it actively seeks moisture to generate heat, accelerating the ice penetration and melting performance.
Many modern aircraft use carbon brakes. A carbon brake-compatible de-icer, such as LNT Airside Solid, helps airports maintain safe winter operations while supporting the protection of these valuable and safety-critical braking systems.
Yes, where approved and applied according to instructions.
It has also been independently tested in accordance with LFV Method 2-98 to demonstrate minimal impact on asphalt pavement adhesion, helping to protect runway surfaces and support long-term pavement durability.
It is chloride-free, triazole free and does not contain any PFAS ingredients.
