De-icers 063
Nordic Swan Ecolabel de-icers reduce emissions of substances that are harmful to the environment and health, promote substances that are easily degraded in nature and produce effective and expensive products. The de-icers are not as corrosive as the traditional road salts and therefore save constructions such as bridges, tunnels and foundation walls.
