Freeze Conditioning

Benetech’s Freeze Conditioning Agents (FCA) are specifically designed to handle bulk materials during sub-freezing weather easily. Benetech has been a significant supplier of FCA, Side Car Release Agents (SCRA), and belt de-icing products since 1983, with blending facilities located near the mining industry.

Benetech offers complete and comprehensive programs in which extensive documentation and monitoring are provided. Annually, Benetech provides over 2.5 million gallons of FCA and belt de-icing chemicals to facilities located in colder regions.

BT955++ Freeze Conditioning Agent

Benetech’s BT955++ chemical eliminates ice before it has the chance to build up.

It works effectively on all types of equipment, such as idlers, rollers, transfers, switches, conveyors, material transported by trucks, and much more. Apply it on an entire conveying system to prevent ice forming before the freezing temperatures set in.

BT955++ is an environmentally-safe ice crystal modifier formulated to reduce the freeze point and weaken the ice crystal matrix. By weakening the crystal structure, formed ice readily breaks apart to mitigate material slippage on conveyor belts.

Freeze Conditioning De-Icer Systems
