Deicing composition based on acetates and/or formates, and method for

The deicing composition described comprises essentially a) from 87 to 99.45% by weight of an alkali metal halide and/or an alkaline earth metal halide, b) from 0.5 to 10% by weight of an alkali metal silicate and c) from 0.05 to 3% by weight of an alkali metal phosphate. It can be employed in solid form (powder, granules and the like) or as an aqueous solution. It ensures a short thaw time and protects metals, especially steel, against corrosion.

Corrosion-inhibited deicing composition based on alkali metal and/or

The method described comprises the steps of, firstly, a water content of from 3 to 20 wt %, based on the water-containing fluid, being set in the hydraulic fluid to be tested, followed by the water-containing fluid being mixed with at least 1 part by volume of tetrahydrofuran or monoethylene glycol dimethyl ether per part by volume of water-containing fluid, whereupon the formation or nonformation of a precipitate is ascertained.

A mixture of isomers of the formula C.sub.6 F.sup.12, which contains at least 80% by weight of the trans isomer of perfluoro-4-methyl-2-pentene and at most 3% by weight of perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentene, is suitable as a cooling and insulating medium and can be used as a substitute 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane.
