deicers
Winter windshield sprays
Deicers are substances or devices that remove ice from surfaces.
Chemical deicers—salt, calcium chloride, alcohol-based fluids—melt ice on roads, sidewalks, and aircraft.
Mechanical deicers include scrapers and heated systems on windshields or airplane wings.
The crew sprayed deicers on the plane before takeoff.
