DTD 406B Deicing Fluid for Cessna aircrafts

(Commonly known as TKS™ Fluid Kilfrost put the ‘K’ in TKS™)

Description

Are you an owner, pilot or enthusiast? Do you have “weeping wings” or a TKS™ ice protection system? Ecolink6

Effectively remove ice from engine inlet, cowl, flight controls, antennas, wing, tail, propeller, rudder, windshield and everything in the propwash area and behind the weeping panels.  DTD 406B aircraft in-flight ice protection fluid protects YOU and YOUR Cessna from in-flight freezing by distributing ice protection fluids through porous metal structures that form the leading edge of the wings and rear horizontal and vertical stabilizers. It is also recommended for removing hoar frost, light snow/ice and frozen deposits from parked aircrafts. Designed for use according to (POH), the TKS™ deicing fluid meets DTD-406B standards and is made from an ethylene glycol based formula. Available in small (2.5 or 5-gal) and big (55 and 275 gal packaging) and ships same day, year round!

Benefits

  • Meets AL-5 DTD 406B, NATO S-745
  • Easy to use: designed for use in cold concentrate form (undiluted as supplied)
  • Fluid runback provides total airframe ice protection
  • Works for de-icing and anti-icing (curative and preventive for icing)
  • Controlled viscosity for dispensing at varied temperatures
  • Fully-biodegradable

Checkout is less than 3 minutes with a live operator and NO robot phone directory to navigate. Really happy people are available 1 800 886-8240 during Monday – Friday 8 AM – 5 PM (EST). Reorders are easily handled by email or phone less than 1 minute!
