The TKS ice protection system protects aircraft from in-flight icing by pumping chemical through porous metal structures that form the leading edge of the wing.
Propellers, windscreens and tail surfaces can be similarly protected if necessary. TKS 406B contains a mixture of glycol and alcohol and offers good ice protection capability (freezing point below -60 degrees C).
Principally used for in-flight ice protection, TKS 406B can also be applied to remove frozen deposits of snow, ice and frost from stationery aircraft on the ground.
TKS 406B is designed for use in cold concentrate form (as supplied) and is available in 2.5 and 5-gallon containers, 30 and 55-gallon drums and 250-gallon IBC totes. Meets AL-5 to DTD 406B, NATO S-745.
