AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands - AkzoNobel has launched an additive for road salt that helps to protect against frost damage and makes driving safer.
Inspired by the ability of certain animals to withstand cold and prevent ice forming in their bodies, Ecosel®AsphaltProtection is a fully biodegradable additive for de-icing brine. It works by slowing the freezing process, resulting in soft, slushy ice, rather than hard, abrasive ice. After in-depth research and development, the product is available to customers in Italy and The Netherlands.
