Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method of mitigating ice build-up on a substrate, comprising applying to the substrate combinations of curable film-forming compositions. The curable film-forming compositions may comprise functional film-forming polymers and curing agents or any of various polysiloxanes and optionally silanes with reactive groups. The film-forming compositions can be applied directly to the surface of the substrate or to a primer coat on the substrate.
