Apogee

Description

Apogee is a state-of-the-art anti-icing, de-icing and frost prevention liquid product offered exclusively through EnviroTech Services, Inc.  Unlike many non-chloride products, Apogee is not acetate based, making it the perfect product for areas where acetates are prohibited.

Uses & Application

Apogee can be applied in a standard steam line pattern or through automated spray systems.  Apogee was designed to maintain a lower viscosity, which enables it to perform at low temperatures and still maintain spray patterns through Bridge Spray Systems or Fixed Automated Spray Technology.  

Anti-icing – When used as an anti-icer for roads or bridge decks, the melting capacity of Apogee provides longer cycle times between applications.

De-icing – When used as a liquid de-icer, Apogee provides excellent melting performance. Apogee can quickly penetrate through the snow pack and break the bond at the road surface.

Pre-wetting - When used as an onboard pre-wetting agent for sand and other abrasives, Apogee reduces bounce and scatter as well as increases the effectiveness of the abrasive.

Performance

Apogee performs well across the entire temperature range and features a significantly lower corrosion rate, scoring13.9% on the PNS scale.  Unlike acetate based products, it does not aggressively attack galvanized metals.  Apogee’s viscosity allows it to flow at low temperatures, maintain spray patterns and stay on the road longer. Apogee will not dry out after a storm and “dust off.”  It actually helps reduce dust from abrasives and other roadway contaminants.
