MSG and Road De-Icing: Two Effective Solutions
MSG offers two types of solutions to keep roads safe in winter: anti-icing and de-icing. These solutions aim to prevent dangerous ice from forming on roads and to remove existing layers of ice. Here is an overview of these two technologies.
1. Anti-icing: Preventing black ice
Anti-icing is a product applied before snowfall or during conditions conducive to the formation of ice. Its purpose is to prevent the formation of black ice, one of the greatest threats to road safety in winter. This product, applied with a 0-degree nozzle, forms a barrier on the road surface, preventing ice from adhering and thus facilitating the release of snow.
Benefits of Anti-Icing
- Prevents the formation of dangerous black ice.
- Reduces the amount of salt or chemicals needed after rainfall.
- Facilitates cleaning and maintenance of roads.
2. De-icing: Melting existing ice
In the event of already formed ice, MSG offers a de-icing solution. This product is sprayed with multiple nozzles for uniform watering, and it penetrates the ice layer to melt it quickly. It is particularly effective after a period of intense frost where the ice has solidified on the roads. Thanks to its precise application, de-icing quickly restores safe road conditions.
Benefits of de-icing:
- Effective in melting existing ice layers.
- Improves the grip of vehicles on the road.
- Reduces the risk of accidents due to black ice.
Conclusion
Whether it is to prevent ice formation or to eliminate an existing layer of ice, MSG offers solutions adapted to each winter situation. Anti-icing and de-icing help keep roads safer while optimizing the effectiveness of winter interventions.
