Weather Trends – Defrost With Isomex

In recent years, UK winters have become increasingly unpredictable, marked by irregular cold snaps, brief snowfalls, and sudden frosts. While prolonged deep freezes are less common, these short, sharp weather events can severely disrupt operations, from runways to roads where surface safety is critical.

It’s crucial to keep surfaces clear and safe, even in rapidly changing conditions. In response to these evolving winter trends, OMEX’s Isomex Range offers a high-performance, fast-acting solution specifically formulated to maintain surface safety and operational continuity during the most challenging weather.

Why Choose Isomex 1?

Simple To Handle

Isomex 1 is super-concentrated and applied undiluted, making it easy to use and store.

Non-Corrosive

Unlike traditional de-icers, Isomex 1 is chloride-free and non-corrosive, reducing damage to infrastructure and minimizing environmental impact.

Effective at Lower Temperatures

Isomex 1 maintains its effectiveness down to -50°C, outperforming traditional salt-based de-icers in extreme conditions.

Fast Acting

Isomex 1 rapidly penetrates ice and snow, breaking the bond between ice and the surface for easy removal. Any residual product left on the surface will continue to prevent ice formation.

Preventative Ice Control

Apply Isomex 1 before frost to prevent ice formation for 24-48 hours, ensuring surfaces remain safe even in changing weather conditions.

“We have worked with OMEX for a number of winter seasons, and have found them to be really helpful, both with deliveries when needed and support on how best to use the product. They have also assisted with advice and been proactive in bringing new solutions when they get developed”

Melanie Lawley, Head of Airfield Operations, Liverpool John Lennon Airport

Why Choose Isomex 3?

Enhanced Holdover

The thickened formulation of Isomex 3 ensures it stays where it’s needed for longer periods, providing extended protection against ice formation

Aircraft Friendly

Isomex 3 is safe for use around aircraft, as it does not corrode critical components such as cadmium plates, steel, plated steel, cable seals, or carbon brakes

Non-Corrosive

Unlike traditional de-icers that contain corrosive salts and chlorides, Isomex 3 is non-corrosive and chloride-free, offering superior protection for both infrastructure and the environment

Effective at Lower Temperatures

Isomex 3 remains active down to temperatures as low as -50°C, outperforming traditional salt-based de-icers in extreme winter conditions

Fast Acting

Isomex 3 quickly penetrates snow and ice, breaking the bond with the surface for easy removal by brushing or shoveling. Any residual product helps inhibit further ice formation.

Preventative Ice Control

Applying Isomex 3 before frost can prevent ice formation for 24-48 hours, providing reliable, long-lasting protection.
