Velocity Chemicals Expands Portfolio with Acquisition of AIRCARE and FROSTFREE De-Icing Fluid Business
Velocity Chemicals proudly announces the acquisition of the AIRCARE and FROSTFREE compressor air line de-icing fluid business from WD Co-Auto. This strategic move, completed in November 2023, significantly enriches Velocity Chemicals’ product offerings and reinforces its position as a leading specialty chemicals provider.
Under this acquisition, Velocity Chemicals will manufacture AIRCARE and FROSTFREE products at its modern facility in Surrey, BC. Notably, these are the sole products of their kind produced in British Columbia, Canada.Key Features of AIRCARE and FROSTFREE:
- De-Icing Functionality: Both AIRCARE and FROSTFREE effectively prevent the freezing of compressor air lines.
- Flammability Distinction: While FROSTFREE is flammable, AIRCARE provides a non-flammable alternative for enhanced safety.
- Special Additives: Enriched with additives preventing corrosion and rust, both products include a unique lubricant protecting rubber and synthetic components.
- Application Flexibility: AIRCARE suits confined and underground spaces, complying with regulations, while FROSTFREE is ideal for open-air and above-ground environments.
- Atomization Introduction: Packaged in 20-litre pails and 200-litre drums, both products, introduced via atomization, adhere to moisture, eliminating freezing and reducing costly downtime.
