De-Icing Products
As the experts in outdoor estate management, we understand and appreciate how specific locations may need to be managed differently. For example, we have extensive knowledge of the de-icing of rail platforms and over bridges where large volumes of exposed metal and ironwork are present. These surfaces do not react well to corrosion, and by using a low corrosive solution we have improved asset longevity while keeping them safe and compliant. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and helping our partners to reduce theirs. Where appropriate we may use an environmentally friendly, low corrosive product as an alternative solution. To further support fragile ecosystems, OUCTO are experts in using de-icing agents that are non-toxic to animals and humans that are a great compromise between effectiveness and price.

Ground white marine salt and ground rock salt are two essential de-icing products offered by OUTCO.

Procoat de-icer is another exceptional product from OUTCO’s range. This specially formulated liquid de-icer is designed to be applied before a snowfall or ice formation.

Procoat de-icer is suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including pedestrian walkways, car parks, and facility entrances, providing long-lasting protection against winter weather hazards.
Viaform/AvForm S-Solid is a unique product offered by OUTCO, which combines the benefits of a de-icer and a traction aid. It is a fast-acting granular substance that not only melts ice but also provides enhanced grip on slippery surfaces. This dual functionality makes it an ideal choice for areas where traction is crucial, such as ramps, slopes, and staircases. Viaform/AvForm S-Solid offers facility managers a versatile solution for maintaining safety and accessibility in diverse winter weather conditions.
Clearway SF3 is a highly effective liquid de-icer designed for rapid ice and snow melting. It is particularly suitable for use on large areas, such as car parks, driveways, and pathways, where efficient and fast-acting de-icing is essential. Clearway SF3 is easy to apply and provides long-lasting results, ensuring safe passage and reducing the risks associated with icy surfaces.
Clearway 6S is another liquid de-icer provided by OUTCO, formulated to combat icy conditions effectively. It is an economical option that delivers superior performance but also minimising environmental impact.
