Delivered in practical 2 x 10-litre containers per box (totalling 20 litres), TKS 406B fluid satisfies DTD 406-B requirements with certifications covering more than 100 aircraft model configurations from prominent manufacturers including Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Cirrus, Diamond, and Mooney aircraft types.

The Science Behind TKS® Ice Protection Systems

TKS® technology safeguards your aircraft through consistent distribution of a freezing point reduction formula across the airframe's outer surfaces, successfully inhibiting ice formation on crucial aerodynamic elements.

This advanced fluid distribution system functions via precision laser-perforated titanium surfaces strategically located at forward edge zones – incorporating wings, empennage surfaces, propeller assemblies, and windscreen regions. These microscopic apertures generate a protective liquid layer preventing ice development (anti-ice capability) or removing accumulated ice deposits (de-ice capability).

The system provides two operational settings: NORMAL flow setting delivers preventative anti-ice coverage when penetrating anticipated icing environments, whereas HIGH flow setting supplies intensive de-ice capability when ice has commenced accumulating. Panel-mounted switches allow pilots to modify protection intensity throughout evolving weather patterns.

Contrasting with conventional pneumatic rubber boot systems demanding ice build-up before engagement, TKS® delivers constant preventative coverage, substantially decreasing pilot burden whilst improving safety parameters during instrument flight rule operations.
