Next Generation Deicing Solutions BioAmber Inc.
Equivalent deicing performance
Succinate formulation has been AMS 1435A certified, equal to K acetate for BOD, ice melting, penetration and undercutting, freezing pt
Bio-based, Zero Carbon Footprint
Succinate deicer is made from fermentation, uses large quantities of CO2 in production, virtually colorless solution (yellow index below 6)
Competitive Price
Potassium succinate is available at price comparable to potassium acetate – and will be less expensive as KOH prices increase
Improved Corrosion Profile
Significantly better impact on materials than potassium acetate: reduced corrosion of alloys and reduced concrete scaling
Strong Patent Protection
Several patents covering production and use of succinate salts as deicing solutions and synergistic effect on freezing point

Corrosion (uncoated and galvanized steel – 3 week test)
• Uncoated steel • No visible corrosion from any of the formula7ons
• Galvanized steel • No visible corrosion with EG/ Urea or PG/ Urea • Substan7al corrosion pi@ng with potassium formate
• Significant corrosion pi@ng with E36, KA/ Urea, and PG/ KA
• No signs of corrosion piPng with potassium succinate
Acetate and formate deicer products have galvanized steel advisories on their product specification sheets
