PRIST®
HI-FLASH™ Anti-Icing Fuel
Additive
|
|
Safer
and easier to handle than conventional anti-icing fuel
additives.
Prist Hi-Flash anti-icing aviation fuel additive
was developed to meet the new demands of the aviation
industry. Next generation Hi-Flash additive
is less toxic, less volatile and much easier to use than
conventional additives.

Why
you should use a fuel additive
All turbine aircraft
fuels contain some dissolved water. It cannot be extracted
because it does not exist as particulate water. When an
aircraft rises to flight altitude, the fuel cools and its
capacity to retain dissolved water is reduced. Some of the
dissolved water separates out as discrete water that can form
into ice crystals or remain as a supercooled liquid. When
supercooled water strikes a tubing bend or a filter, it can
freeze quickly and block a fuel line or filter. If suspended
ice crystals are present, they can also block a filter.
Prist Hi-Flash anti-icing aviation fuel
additive controls icing in aircraft fuel by depressing the
freezing point of water.

Controlling Fuel System
Icing
Prist Hi-Flash additive has limited
solubility in jet fuel, but is completely soluble in water.
When dissolved water separates from the fuel, some amount of
Prist Hi-Flash additive quickly
leaves the fuel and preferentially dissolves in the water.
This depresses the water's freezing point. As the fuel gets
colder, and more water particles appear, more Prist
Hi-Flash additive leaves the fuel and
enters the water, and your aircraft's fuel lines stay
clear.

Fully Authorized
Prist Hi-Flash anti-icing aviation
fuel additive is authorized by the United States Armed Forces
under Military Specification Mil-DTL-85470(B), and by the ASTM
under Standard D4171 for use in civilian jet fuels as a fuel
system icing inhibitor. As part of its ASTM approval process,
the formulation of Prist Hi-Flash
additive was reviewed and approved by turbine engine
and turbine aircraft airframe manufacturers
worldwide.
Prist Hi-Flash
additive is recommended for every refueling at a
dosage rate of .10% minimum to .15% maximum by volume. For
your convenience, Prist Hi-Flash
additive comes in three package sizes.
- 5-Gallon Pail— Holds enough
Prist additive to treat 5,000 gallons of fuel.
- 55-Gallon Drum— For the most
economical bulk treatment of fuel.
- 20- oz.
Hi-Flo™ additive aerosol
cans.

Handling and Storage
Prist
Hi-Flash aviation fuel additive should be
handled as a combustible liquid and stored away from direct
sunlight and other sources of heat. The flammable limits of
its vapor range from 1.2% to 22% in the air.
Prist
Hi-Flash additive should be protected from
contact with oxidizing agents, including long-term contact
with the air, as it can combine with oxygen to form explosive
peroxides, and since exposure to the atmosphere may cause it
to absorb moisture.
Carbon dioxide,
alcohol-type foam, or dry chemicals should be used for
extinguishing a Prist Hi-Flash fuel additive
fire, since water may cause frothing.

Health Hazards
Acute— Diethylene glycol
monomethyl ether (DEGMME), the primary ingredient of Prist
Hi-Flash aviation fuel additive, is an eye and
mucous membrane irritant, a nephrotoxin and central nervous
system depressant.
DEGMME can be absorbed through skin
in toxic amounts when contact is extensive and prolonged; it
is toxic by skin absorption. And it may cause pain and
transient injury to eyes.
DEGMME may cause irritation to the
mucous membranes. Due to the low volatility of this material,
it is believed to present no unusual hazards from inhalation
when handled at room temperature.
The oral toxicity of
DEGMME is low.
Chronic— Fetal development
abnormalities and effects on fertility have been reported to
occur from prolonged ingestion by rats, mice and
rabbits.

MSDS for this product.
