Anti-Icing prevents the formation or development of bonded snow and ice. As a consequence, anti-icing provides the benefits of increased safety at the lowest cost. If you wait until ice forms, de-icing requires 5 to 10 times more product to melt ice than what is required to anti-ice in the first place. This is because typical de-icers, due to their lower viscosity, create more runoff and make de-icing highly ineffective.
Midwest can help with these issues by offering a complete line of products and services to manage frozen material and plugged chutes.
Our products are designed specifically for frozen material and plugged chutes in the utility and power plant industry. Each product was extensively tested in the field, in our state-of-the-art laboratory and by independent organizations.

Zero Gravity B-Free®
B-Free® is a side release agent that is used to prevent the bonding action of moist material to the rail car, truck bed, chutes or other treated surface. It also acts as a release agent for easy cleaning.Freeze Free®
Freeze-Free® is a glycol based freeze conditioning agent that is sprayed onto coal before loading into hopper cars and results in easy unloading of coal in severe winter conditions. It is a clean burn, and will not contribute to either hot or cold-end corrosion.Enviro-MLT™
Enviro-MLT™ is a potassium acetate that is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-corrosive de-icing and anti-icing agent. It is equally effective in melting ice as it is in preventing the formation of ice. For this reason Enviro-MLT™ can be used many different ways.
