What is deice?

Deicing is the process of removing or preventing the buildup of ice on surfaces such as aircraft wings, roadways, and buildings. It is important to prevent ice buildup as it can increase the risk of accidents and damage to structures. Deicing can be done using various methods such as applying salt, chemicals, or heat to melt or prevent ice formation. The most common type of deicing used in aviation is the application of a deicing fluid, which is a chemical mixture designed to melt ice and prevent further buildup. Deicing is typically required during the winter months in areas with cold climates, and is often performed by trained professionals using specialized equipment.
