Potassium formate, a formic acid salt, is more efficient than other de-icing agents such as: Potassium acetate Urea Glycerol Compared to potassium formate, taken at a relative efficiency of 100%, potassium acetate has an efficiency of only 80 to 85%, depending on the prevailing temperature.
Ifomathi ye-Potassium, usawoti we-formic acid, isebenza kahle kakhulu kunamanye ama-de-icing agents afana ne: Potassium acetate Urea Glycerol Qhathaniswa ne-potassium formate, ethathwe ekusebenzeni okuhle kwe-100%, i-potassium acetate ine-80% yama-85% kuphela, kuya ngokushisa okukhona.
