Freeze Conditioning Agents

We are pleased to introduce our newest, patent-pending freeze protection products. Nalco's FCA (freeze conditioning agent), belt de-icing agent and SRA (side release agent) allow its customers to operate with no lost time expenses due to problems with frozen materials or demurrage.

These products are based on new chemistries that are not calcium chloride or diethylene chloride (DEG) and are non-toxic and biodegradable. Our products have been approved for use by the railroads and utility.

A better freeze conditioning agent (FCA) than either calcium chloride or DEG. In compression tests, Nalcoal 8880 outperforms both calcium chloride and DEG. It is less corrosive than calcium chloride, and has a lower freeze point than either calcium chloride or DEG.

A more effective in belt de-icing than either calcium chloride or DEG. It has a lower freeze point than either calcium chloride or DEG. It is more viscous than either calcium chloride or DEG, making it more effective in coating the belts.

This is the optimum side release agent (SRA). It is more effective than either calcium chloride or DEG in leaving less clean coal carry back in the rail cars.


Application rates of FCA, belt de-icing and SRA programs vary for each customer, depending on percent fines, surface moisture, transit time and temperature.

Additionally, we can design, manufacture and install customised and automated feed systems for your application to properly treat each ton of material, belt or railcar.
