Anti-icing

A passive anti-icing procedure means a process that prevents ice formation over a protected surface. Passive anti-icing solutions are more durable and environmentally friendly options compared to active de-icing methods. A de-icing procedure reflects to a removal of accreted ice from a surface by using active methods e.g., mechanical removal, heating or with chemicals.

For passive anti-icing purposes, low ice adhesion surfaces can be produced by using surface engineering technologies.
