SNOWGUARD Wants to Make the Scraper Obsolete
Cryology presents a spray-on coating designed to loosen snow and ice from surfaces rather than melt them.
Field notes
The product is applied to a clean, dry surface before a storm and is described as curing into a thin release layer within minutes. Its proposed action is mechanical rather than chemical: snow and ice remain on top, but the bond beneath is weakened so accumulation can be tapped, brushed, or blown away. The page lists nine use categories, from auto glass and walkways to HVAC units and satellite dishes. Retail and commercial or municipal pilots are presented as forthcoming.
