Environmental aspects in the business concept
Environmental aspects are very important within Aerochem. As a part of the business concept Aerochem has decided to work actively in order to reduce the potential environmental consequences of the products.

Unclassified fluids
De-icing fluids, used to remove ice and prevent ice formation on the wings of aircrafts, are unclassificed fluids and considered as harmless. The fluids are based on Mono Propylene Glykol (MPG).

Early adopter
Already in 2000 Aerochem started introducing a more environmentally friendly and Triasol-free de-icing fluid Type 1. Triasol had both corrosion protective and anti-flammable properties but after extensive research and development it was replaced by a substance that had considerably less environmental drawbacks. Since 2003, only environmentally friendly fluids have been delivered.

Recycling
Even if de-icing fluid is considered harmless to the environment the volume used claims that it is motivated to find ways to recycle the raw material. Today the fluid is normally collected during the de-icing process and thereafter sent for destruction. That is why Aerochem has been working actively to find methods for recycling the collected fluids.
