In actual use, it is crucial to accurately judge whether the Anti-Ice Modifier has played a role, which is not only related to the safety of infrastructure such as roads and bridges, but also affects the efficiency of transportation.
First, the effect of the Anti-Ice Modifier can be judged by observing the ice on the surface. If there is no obvious ice layer on the treated surface under the conditions where ice is expected, or the ice layer is very thin and easy to remove, this indicates that the Anti-Ice Modifier has played a certain role. For example, in the cold winter, the road treated with the Anti-Ice Modifier remains relatively dry in the cold and humid environment, without forming a thick ice surface, and the vehicle drives smoothly. This is one of the obvious signs that the Anti-Ice Modifier has played a role.
Secondly, you can observe whether the melted water can be drained away quickly. The Anti-Ice Modifier can usually reduce the adhesion of ice, so that the ice can flow away from the surface quickly after melting, and no water will accumulate. If the water in the treated area can be quickly drained after the ice melts, while the untreated area has water accumulation, it means that the Anti-Ice Modifier has played a role in promoting the melting and drainage of ice.
In addition, it can also be judged by comparing the friction coefficient of the treated area and the untreated area. Using professional equipment to measure the friction coefficient of the surface, the treated area has a higher friction coefficient, indicating that its anti-skid performance is better, which also indirectly shows that the Anti-Ice Modifier has played a role in preventing icing and improving safety. For example, on the airport runway, the area treated with the Anti-Ice Modifier can ensure that the aircraft has sufficient friction during takeoff and landing to ensure flight safety.
In addition, the effect of the Anti-Ice Modifier can also be judged by long-term observation of the damage to infrastructure. If the freeze-thaw damage of infrastructure such as roads and bridges is significantly reduced and the service life is extended after the use of the Anti-Ice Modifier, it also shows that the Anti-Ice Modifier has played a positive role in preventing damage to infrastructure caused by icing.
In short, by observing the surface ice formation, water discharge, friction coefficient, and damage to infrastructure, we can more accurately determine whether the Anti-Ice Modifier has played a role in actual use.
