Midwest Industrial Supply has developed a hydrophobic transparent coating, Undercarriage de-icer, that minimizes ice accumulation and provides protection from a broad range ofdetrimental conditions on a variety of surfaces as well as easing ice removal. This ice-phobiccoating contains novel silicone-based phase change materials (PCMs).As with other ice-phobic coatings on the market, Undercarriage de-icer is hydrophobic. Unlikeconventional ice-phobic coatings, which rely solely on surface hydrophobicity or sacrificialmaterials that lose effectiveness over time, Undercarriage de-icer offers a more effective, longerlasting solution to the icing problem by the incorporation of PCMs.
