PURPOSE OF SYNTHESIS This synthesis reports on how airports chemically treat their airfield pavements to mitigate snow and ice, and the chemicals used; reviews damage to aircraft components and airfield infrastructure in association with the use of traditional or modern pavement deicing products (PDPs) (for simplicity, this document uses the terms "deicer" and "pavement deicing products" for all chemical products used for deicing and anti-icing operations)

Existing research has indicated that KAc and KF may cause accelerated structural degradation of C/C composite aircraft brakes as a result of the catalytic oxidation by the potassium cation, which may result in reduced brake life and introduce the possibility of brake failure during aborted take-off. KF was found to cause corrosion to landing gear and associated wiring of some Boeing airplane models.

Chapter three offers detailed information about the effects of PDPs on aircraft, including catalytic oxidation of C/C composite brakes, cadmium corrosion, and interaction with aircraft deicing and anti-icing fluids. Chapter four presents the currently available information on the effects of PDPs on asphalt and concrete airfield pavements, as well as the limited information available on other airfield infrastructure.
