Podcasts about propylene

SINGAPORE (ICIS) — Asia propylene will continue to see new capacities coming from China in H2 2024, while its demand is also likely to improve as new derivative projects come up.Margin challenges may continue to impact the market by altering propylene and its derivatives' operations. As China is the largest producer and consumer globally, dynamics in the country will impact the wider Asia propylene market. What will be the outlook for propylene in 2024? In this podcast, analysts Joey Zhou and Seymour Chenxia discuss the trends and outlook for the Asia propylene market.

SINGAPORE (ICIS) -- The ample supply of propylene in Asia as well as some new polypropylene (PP) capacities in China is expected to weigh on discussions in SE Asia in the coming months. Asia C3 to see length from China PDH restarts, SE Asia volumes China PP exports to weigh on SE Asia discussions  Asia PP prices to come under pressure in June-July In this podcast, ICIS editors Julia Tan, Jackie Wong and Lucy Shuai discuss some of the trends in the Asian propylene and PP markets and what we can expect going forward.

SINGAPORE (ICIS) -- Asian oxo-alcohols buyers maintained a wait and watch approach, amid the possibility of added capacities in China weighing on market sentiment.The acrylonitrile (ACN) market continues to see limited spot demand in the northeast Asia market. Even as downstream acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) has seen higher production rates recently, ACN producers were unlikely to increase operating rates.For the acrylates downstream, butyl-A market in Asia continues to take direction from Chinese domestic prices. With India's Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) requirements preventing Chinese origin imports, cargoes from China were flowing into SE Asia and NE Asia. In this podcast, ICIS editors Julia Tan and Corey Chew discuss trends in the Asia propylene and derivatives markets.

Hydrocarbon Processing sat down with Luis Cirihal, President Refining Technologies, W. R. Grace, to discuss FCC propylene production, catalysts technologies and new solutions that are evolving the global hydrocarbon processing industries.

Maximizing propylene production can offer attractive opportunities to refiners. Refiners with the ability to integrate petrochemical units into existing operations will have a competitive advantage as transportation fuels are forecast to decrease and petrochemicals demand forecasted to significantly increase to 2050.

Oil prices rose more than $3/bbl on Monday morning on concerns that the escalated military confrontations between Israeli forces and Palestinian Islamist faction Hamas over the weekend could disrupt output from the Middle East.  In the previous week on Thursday, the Brent benchmark had plunged 13% from its recent peak of over $97/bbl.With many olefins producers seeing thin margins on the back of sustained poor demand for downstream products, volatility in the upstream crude markets has had a significant impact on market sentiment. In this podcast, ICIS editors Julia Tan and Nel Weddle discuss the fourth quarter outlook for Asia and Europe propylene. 

In this podcast, Joey Zhou from ICIS analytics team and Seymour Chenxia from information team discuss the recent development and outlook for Asia propylene market.

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news there are growing suggestions that the inflation surge may be topping outRemember, it is the July 4, Independence Day holiday in the US and financial markets are closed there.Yesterday we noted than most of the top ten global commodities were falling in price now. Other key hard commodities like nickel, cobalt and tin are too, most essential for green energy projects. But not lithium yet even if its rise is now over. The overall slide in commodity prices are an indication that inflation's bite may be easing, and quite quickly.Further, there are suggestions that the US may roll back some of its tariffs on Chinese imports, a Trump-era tax on Americans. (Only those drunk on MAGA propaganda thought they were a tax on the Chinese. US import volumes showed otherwise.) This could be significant too to arrest inflation.China is feasting on cut-price Russian oil, gas and coal. It is helpful for China because their economy is struggling to regain momentum. Other suppliers like Iran are having to match the Russian discounts. That in turn is driving down West African oil prices. And Australian coal producers are having to make the same match. All these price declines in these key commodities are helping quell inflation globally.In China, property developer Shimao Group has missed the interest and principal payment of a US$1 bln offshore bond due on Sunday, in the latest blow to China's embattled property market.To get their economy moving again, China has halved taxes on new car purchases.And China has found more undeclared additives in what is being sold as "pure milk" products. And these are from the Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region. Propylene glycol is the additive; no mention of forced labour at these dairy farms of course.In Europe, there is no relief for producer prices, up +36% from a year ago, with energy prices almost doubling and non-energy prices up about +17%. But this is May data so there is no evidence yet that it is topping out, even if other June data has subsequently suggested that.High Russian gas prices has pushed German importers to the brink of collapse. But now the German government wants to add a rescue measure for energy companies such as Uniper in its energy security law and may end up acquiring a stake in the company.German exports slipped slightly in May when a small rise was expected. But that was despite a virtual collapse of exports to Russia (down -30% in 2022) . Being able to post a 'hold' in such circumstances has to be a good win for Germany in the circumstances, although since 2014 they have weaned themselves off Russia as a customer to a very substantial extent.Turkey's inflation rate rose for a 13th consecutive month to almost +80% higher than a year ago, its highest since 1998. This is what happens when a central bank chooses not to raise interest rates early enough. Meanwhile their currency dived further making the problem worse. Everything Erdogan does reveals he is incompetent.In Australia, SkyCity's Adelaide casino will be scrutinised via an independent review as part of a widening Australian crackdown on the gambling industry.One of Australia's largest insurers, Suncorp, says costs are rising from 'the material hardening of the global reinsurance market following elevated natural hazard activity in recent years'. Their focus might be Australia, but Kiwi premium payers probably won't be forgotten in insurance repricing for rising natural hazard claims.And staying in Australia, there was a big and unexpected jump in the number of residential building consents issued in May, up almost +10% from April when a -2% fall was expected. It is unclear how analysts could get that so wrong. Also rising is bank mortgage lending, up more than +2% in May from April, when a -2% fall was expected.The UST 10yr yield starts today still down at 2.89%. The price of gold is now down -US$5 at US$1808/oz.And oil prices are up +US$2 at just over US$109/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price is just over US$113/bbl.The Kiwi dollar will open today unchanged at 62.1 USc. Against the Australian dollar we are firmer at 91.5 AUc. Against the euro we are also unchanged at 59.6 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 70.3 and marginally softer.The bitcoin price has risen since this time yesterday and is now at US$19,904 and up +3.9%. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at +/-2.7%. The crypto lender Vauld, backed by Coinbase and Peter Thiel, is exploring a possible restructuring after becoming the latest cryptocurrency platform to freeze services.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)—Asian olefin markets have seen weak demand weigh on discussions amid ongoing lockdowns in China. However, will these markets see some support in the road ahead from upstream naphtha?  In this episode of the ICIS Podcast, Markets Editor for the Asia-Pacific Propylene report, Julia Tan speaks with Melanie Wee, Senior Editor for the Asia-Pacific Naphtha report, to discuss current market conditions in the naphtha and propylene markets, and whether crude oil volatility arising from the Russia-Ukraine war will continue to affect the Q2 outlooks for these markets. 

Episode 88: EVALI. Nugdeep and Jeffrey present E-cigarette and Vaping Associated Lung Injury (EVALI), including symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Introduction includes a word of advice for matching and not matching students in 2022.  Introduction: The Match 2022 is over.  By Hector Arreaza, MD. Read by Valeri Civelli, MD. Another Match season is behind us. It's time to celebrate and prepare for a new stage of your career. As an interesting fact, the American Association of Family Physicians announced that in 2022 the highest number of family medicine residents matched.Positions for family medicine residencies have been steadily growing for the last 13 years in a row. There are 756 family medicine categorical and combined residency programs, that's 15 more programs than in 2021. Also, in 2022, osteopathic medical schools had the historic highest number of students matching into family medicine, to be exact 1,496 DO seniors matched to family medicine this year, that's 58 more students than 2021.During this season, the number of U.S. medical grads matching into family medicine “did not increase despite a larger number of positions available.”[1]If you did not match this year, the Match can also be a time of reflection and goal setting as you prepare with optimism for the next season. To increase your chances to match next year, Dr. Margarita Loeza advised in an AMA article[2] to stay in touch with your medical school, find a job in a clinical setting, take Step 3, and try a new approach during next season. For example, you may consider applying to a higher number of programs or even more than one specialty. Residency training is the primary way to get licensed to see patients, but there are hundreds of alternative ways to pursue your passion for medicine. Do not give up on your goals. “Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.” ―Winston Churchill.This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California.

Ross University School of Medicine. Participated in the discussion: Hector Arreaza, MD. N: Good afternoon listeners. My name is Nugdeep Singh, and I am a fourth-year medical student. J: Hello, and I'm Jeffrey Nguyen, also a fourth-year medical student. Thank you for having us today Dr. Arreaza. N: Today we will be talking about E-cigarette and vape-associated lung injury (EVALI), also known as vaping-associated pulmonary injury (VAPI). But, before we get into the medical pathology of E-cigarettes and vapes, why don't we give a little background on them.Arreaza: EVALI and VAPI sound like another Indian holiday or an Italian dessert, but EVALI and VAPI are certainly no joke. J: Sure, let's get started. So, E-cigarettes are battery-operated devices that heat liquids containing nicotine to produce an aerosol that the user inhales. Long-term health effects and whether they help an individual quit smoking has been controversial, as there has not been much research on it. These E-cigarettes have raised public health concerns on smoking prevalence and their potential use by children. In 2019, over 5 million children and adolescents were using 3-cigarettes. This represented an increase in e-cigarette use by high school students from 12% in 2017 to 28% in 2019. In fact, Massachusetts legislation bans the sale of all flavored tobacco products starting in June 2020. Nicotine is the main ingredient in the liquid, however, there are other constituents that are carcinogenic potential. Nugdeep, can you go over some of these ingredients? N: Yea, let's start with nicotine. The level of nicotine varies between 0 to 36mg/mL, though it can be higher in some. Nicotine salt is another variant that can provide a different sensation in a user's throat. Next is propylene glycol, which are humectants, and they are the main component of most E-cigarette liquids. Arreaza: When you mentioned proPYlene glycol, I immediately thought of “PEG”. PolyEthylene Glycol, does it ring a bell? Yes, it's a common laxative, but besides that it's used in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Having allergy to PEG is one of the few contraindications of the COVID-19 vaccine. But you are not talking about PEG, you are talking about propylene glycol, which is a lightly sweet substance used in e-cigarettes, which can cause chemical conjunctivitis or respiratory irritation.  The consequences of chronic inhalation of propylene glycol are still unknown.N: Finally, there are flavorings and there are about 7000 flavors available. Some examples include candy, fruits, sodas, and alcohol flavors. J: Can I add something real quick? N: Yea, of course. J: Although these flavorings do add taste to the experience, it attracts E-cigarettes in the youths, especially those who do not already smoke. So, kids, don't start smoking these just because of the different flavors. Sorry for interrupting you, you can continue. N: It's all good. To continue where I left off, metals such as tin, lead, nickel, chromium, and arsenic have also been found in these liquids. In addition to these, people can also use aerosolized THC or cannabinoid oils with these E-cigarettes. J: Wow, there are so many ingredients found in these liquids that the public is not aware of. Now that we know a little more about E-cigarettes, let's talk about how they affect the lungs. N: Yea, let's get to it. E-cigarette and Vape Associated Lung Injury was first recognized in the summer of 2019 and to date, there are more than 2800 cases that have been reported to CDC as of February 2020. Among those, 68 deaths have been recorded.  Approximately 66% are male users and nearly 80% are under the age of 35. Unfortunately, 22% of the patients have underlying asthma. J: Currently, we still don't fully understand how E-cigarettes affect the lungs. Reported cases have hypothesized that lung diseases are associated with acute eosinophilic pneumonia, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, acute and subacute hypersensitivity pneumonitis, respiratory bronchiolitis-associated pneumonitis, and interstitial lung disease, suggesting that more than one mechanism of injury may be involved. It is important to understand that there is no evidence of an infectious etiology. N: One interesting fact is that when they took fluid samples from the lungs (called bronchoalveolar lavage) from patients with lung injury from E-cigarettes, they noticed that the sample contained THC and/or Vitamin E acetate. Of course, other additives were included, however, these two were in the majority of fluid samples. In fact, the product Juul® was recently found to have a strong association with EVALI. Arreaza: JUUL was a commercial success, compared to Uber and Airbnb, but it has been involved in a lot of controversies around the world. J: Vitamin E acetate? But isn't that found in many other products that we use on a daily basis? N: Definitely, Vitamin E is found in many foods including vegetable oils, cereals, meats, fruits, and vegetables. It is also available as dietary supplements and is in cosmetic products such as skin creams. There are no known harms when Vitamin E acetate is ingested or applied to the skin, however, research suggests that it interferes with normal lung functions. J: Interesting, who knew something as simple as Vitamin E can cause harm to the lungs when used differently. To continue, let's talk about symptoms that patients present with. Respiratory symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, pleuritic chest pain, and hemoptysis. Patients may have subjective fever and chills. GI symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Vital signs can be remarkable for tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypoxemia that may progress to respiratory failure. Nugdeep, are there any criteria to meet the diagnosis of E-cigarette and Vape Associated Lung Injury? N: Before I talk about how to make the diagnosis, I want to mention that CDC recommends obtaining detailed information on the type of vaping device used, type of substance used, frequency of vaping, and where these devices were obtained. To answer your question, in order to make the diagnosis, you need:Use of e-cigarettes in the past 90 days.Chest x-ray or CT chest showing lung opacities without any signs of lung infection.Negative influenza PCR, respiratory viral panel, and other respiratory infections like urine antigen test for legionella. (COMMENT: COVID-19?) Once the diagnosis has been made, what are the treatment options? J: Since this is a new and upcoming problem, there are no known treatments to date. The most important thing is to rule out infectious processes, such as community-acquired pneumonia. However, patients diagnosed with EVALI can be started on antibiotics empirically to cover pathogens of community-acquired pneumonia. Systemic glucocorticoids have been used; however, the efficacy has not been formally studied. The decision to initiate systemic glucocorticoids is challenging due to various presentations, but it has been suggested to initiate systemic glucocorticoids for patients who meet the criteria for EVALI and have progressively worsening symptoms and hypoxemia. So, what does supportive care entail?N: 95% of patients with this diagnosis will require hospitalization for supportive care, such as supplemental oxygen with a target pulse oxygen saturation of 88-92%. If hypoxemia worsens, management follows that for acute respiratory distress syndrome. In order to discharge a patient, it is important to ensure vital signs, oxygen saturation and exercise tolerance are stable for 24-48 hours prior to discharge. Jeffrey, to conclude this podcast, can you talk about the prognosis of EVALI? J: Sure. When comparing fatal vs nonfatal cases of EVALI, the proportion of fatal cases was higher among patients over the age of 35 and those with a history of asthma, cardiac or mental health conditions. Case reports among adolescents suggest residual lung dysfunction, like short-term diffusion abnormalities. However, it remains unclear whether abnormalities persist in the long term. We would need to wait while they do more research about this condition. Arreaza: E-cigarette use is increasing, and we need to be aware of the signs and symptoms of E-cigarette and vape-associated lung injury (EVALI) to start treatment appropriately. Remember to include e-cigarettes and vaping when you ask questions about smoking. ____________________________Now we conclude our episode number 87 “EVALI.” EVALI stands for E-cigarette and vape-associated lung injury. The medical community has been increasingly concerned about the safety and health consequences of e-cigarettes and vaping. When you encounter a patient with respiratory complaints, remember to ask about any form of tobacco use, including e-cigarettes and vaping. If you suspect a patient has EVALI, confirm the diagnosis with a chest x-ray or CT scan and rule out any infectious etiology. Consider hospital admission if symptoms are severe, for example, if the patient has shortness of breath or requires oxygen. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek.

There is a heavy maintenance period currently being carried out for propylene in Europe, but spot has occasionally traded lower than contract for the first time in six months, so how will this affect the tight acrylonitrile (ACN) markets?

On this episode of the Health Made Simple Show, we deconstruct the ingredients in skincare and household products with Dr. Ashley Beckman.  We cover how our skin absorbs toxins, the hidden chemicals in most skincare products, and how these chemicals affect your hormones. Dr. Beckman is a doctor of Chinese medicine, acupuncturist, and herbalist in Los Angeles, California. She received her doctorate in healthy aging, and she studies epigenetics, which is how our genes are affected by our diet and lifestyle.  Toxins are a huge topic in wellness, and practitioners will often cover the toxins in our food. However, we tend to overlook the toxins all around us in our environment. These toxins can be hidden in cleaning agents, skincare products, and makeup, and it's important to our health to be aware of them. The average person uses about 12-20 products a day, which is around 200 chemicals that you're putting on your skin. Environmental toxins can be one of the root causes of health issues.  The good news is that we have control over this, and we can choose what we put on our skin and the products we buy! Dr. Ashley Beckman's Story and Passion   Shortly after Dr. Beckman graduated college, she read a book, Drop Dead Gorgeous, that radically shifted her perspective on skin care. The book detailed all the chemicals that are typically in skincare products.   She realized that almost everyone assumes the products they use are safe because they're sold in the United States. Sadly, that's far from the truth.  Dr. Beckman learned that many of the chemicals found in skincare products are carcinogenic, andonly eleven percent of the about 11,000 ingredients in common skincare and beauty goods are actually tested.  In Europe, officials have banned over a thousand of those chemicals. While in the United States, we have only banned about 10-15. She became passionate about clean skincare when working with women who have issues with fertility, fibroids, and cysts. She said people didn't really realize that the products they used were disrupting their hormone balance or other systems.  Dr. Beckman believes that your first step in leveling up your health is to properly and holistically assess you and your own unique challenges to optimize your health strategy. Why Clean Products Matter  If your products have toxins in them, you will have toxins in you.   “When you put something directly on the skin, you absorb 60-80% of it,” Dr. Beckman said. These toxins usually bypass the liver and the kidneys and go straight into the blood. This effect makes them extra harmful because the toxins aren't getting filtered out by the digestive system.  Studies have found that these chemicals, even in minute amounts, cause problems in the body. The problems worsen as toxins accumulate over time as well.  One in three people get cancer, and experts report about ninety percent of the cause is related to some sort of environmental toxin.  We have a lot of control over our health with our choices, and we can choose toxin-free. Hidden Chemicals in Fragrance  Fragrances can hold up to two-hundred ingredients in them and none of them are reported on the label.  So when you see “fragrance” as an ingredient and think it's not a big deal because it's one of the last ingredients, that assumption is not necessarily true.  Chemicals like phthalates and formaldehyde are sometimes in perfumes and fragrances. The best thing to do is look at the label and be familiar with some of the terms to look for, but at the same time, it can be hidden.    Knowing ‘Natural' in Skincare Marketing Make sure you research brands. Marketers nowadays will use a strategy called greenwashing. Greenwashing is when a brand uses the terms organic, natural, and/or vegan on their labels, which gives a false impression that the product is safe. To get the label of a “natural” product, a skincare producer only has to have a certain amount of herbs in their items.  The Compounding Effect of Chemicals We have a body-burden bucket that just keeps getting more filled every day. It takes very specific actions to get toxins out of your body.  Dr. Beckman recommends seeing a practitioner to help you get those toxins out of your body in a systematic fashion. Sadly doing a seven-day juice cleanse won't have a lasting impact on your overall health. “We (practitioners) need to educate and guide people on the best options and get these [toxins] out of their system… because it's one of the root causes of a lot of chronic issues,” said Dr. Beckman.   Cleaning & Beauty Products  There's a lot of middle-of-the-road cleaning products that aren't completely toxin-free but are still better than major name brands.  Dr. Bart showed his bottle of Mrs. Meyer's cleaning products, which is considered one of those middle-of-the-road brands, but it's one you can trust if you see it at the store.  When you flip the bottle and you see an ingredient labeled PEG, it is a chemical that affects the respiratory system.  Dr. Beckman Suggests… For household cleaning… – Using essential oils (especially lemon essential oil), vinegar, baking soda  – Rockin' Green products   For Detergents… – The Honest Company is another middle-of-the-road company, but it's still pretty pure. – Seventh Generation is also pretty good as well. Dr. Beckman suggests their disinfecting wipes because they use thyme essential oils.  – Many times when a traditional detergent says non-fragranced, it uses a chemical to be non-fragranced scented. That chemical commonly causes a skin reaction for certain people and kids. – It's important to get a clean detergent because you're exposed to the residues of that detergent most of your day. At night alone, you sleep eight hours on the sheets you washed with your detergent.    Dryer Sheets… – Use wool dryer balls    Lipstick…  – In order to find the cleanest beauty products, you probably have to order online.  – BeautyCounter is a popular natural beauty company that Dr. Beckman trusts. Another one of her favorite brands is Ilia Beauty. – Most of the time the very popular brands like Mac and Dior are very toxic What to Look for on the Label When you see the word, “fragrance” be very careful. It's hidden in a lot of things. If you're someone who suffers from migraines, headaches, or skin issues, fragrances are an important one to cut out.  Propylene glycols are often contaminated with carcinogens. Phthalates are possibly carcinogenic. A lot of these chemicals disrupt your hormones, but they also are linked to causing cancer.  Formaldehyde is also in some products. Oftentimes, these chemicals are preservatives that can make something last on a shelf for five years. However, you don't want something that can be that stable in your body because it takes so long to get out.  Questions from the Audience  What about toothpaste and deodorant?  Those are really big. Both are important to be clean. People have different opinions on fluoride, but Dr. Beckman says she's stayed away from it for 25 years. My favorite one is a new one called Wellnesse, and it has the hydroxyapatite in it that helps strength then enamel. Watch out for lauryl sulfate in toothpaste.  There's a ton of natural deodorants. Deodorants plug up the ducts and nodes underneath your armpits, and that's why deodorants are one of the biggest links for breast cancer. Antiperspirant (as opposed to deodorant) isn't great for you. Dr. Beckman recommends using a brand called All Good.  Listen to your body and how it reacts. It's all about detoxing, and if you notice you have sweat that is smells strong, then it's time to detox.  I'm a clean eater and a yoga teacher, but I still use some skincare products that aren't toxin-free for my adult acne. I'm trying to get pregnant. So, how worried should I be about this? I would switch. When you're pregnant or planning to have a child, you need to clean up your skin care prior to having a child. When you're pregnant, the fetus will absorb the toxins that you're in contact with as a defense mechanism to save the mother. So it's crucial to get clean and switch over. That product is just covering up your acne and not treating the root problem What about spring water in plastic bottles?  I don't suggest it. Any water in a plastic bottle in a last resort to me. I have some energy, but you shouldn't get in the habit of that because plastic is toxic. Plastic is one of the most important things to switch.  What are some good essential oil brands?  Typically ones that people are familiar with are Young Living and doTERRA. I use True Vibrance Oils. I use Mountain Rose Organics, and other brand I use is called Snow Lotus.    What is one action that we can take today after this episode?  Learn to be a label detective! Start flipping things over, and if you see a whole long list of things you've never heard of, look for a better alternative. What's Next?

From Wikipedia: Deicing fluids come in a variety of types, and are typically composed of ethylene glycol (EG) or propylene glycol (PG), along with other ingredients such as thickening agents, surfactants (wetting agents), corrosion inhibitors, colors, and UV-sensitive dye. Propylene glycol-based fluid is more common due to the fact that it is less toxic than ethylene glycol. Type I fluids have a low viscosity, and are considered "unthickened". They provide only short term protection because they quickly flow off surfaces after use. They are typically sprayed on hot (130–180 °F, 55–80 °C) at high pressure to remove snow, ice, and frost. Usually they are dyed orange to aid in identification and application. Type II fluids are pseudoplastic, which means they contain a polymeric thickening agent to prevent their immediate flow off aircraft surfaces. Typically the fluid film will remain in place until the aircraft attains 100 knots (190 km/h) or so, at which point the viscosity breaks down due to shear stress. The high speeds required for viscosity breakdown means that this type of fluid is useful only for larger aircraft. The use of Type II fluids is diminishing in favor of Type IV. Type II fluids are generally clear in color. Type III fluids can be thought of as a compromise between Type I and Type II fluids. They are intended for use on slower aircraft, with a rotation speed of less than 100 knots. Type III fluids are generally bright yellow in color. Type IV fluids meet the same AMS standards as Type II fluids, but they provide a longer holdover time. They are typically dyed green to aid in the application of a consistent layer of fluid.   From NASA: There are four standard aircraft de-icing and anti-icing fluid types: Type I, II, III, and IV. Type I fluids are the thinnest of fluids. As such, they can be used on any aircraft, as they shear/blow off even at low speeds. They also have the shortest hold-over times (HOT) or estimated times of protection in active frost or freezing precipitation. Type II and IV fluids add thickening agents to increase viscosity. The thickeners allow fluid to remain on the aircraft longer to absorb and melt the frost or freezing precipitation. This translates to longer HOT, but it also means a higher speed is required to shear off the fluid. Type III fluids are relatively new and have properties in between Type I and Type II/IV fluids. Type III fluids also contain thickening agents and offer longer HOTs than Type I, but are formulated to shear off at lower speeds. They are designed specifically for small commuter-type aircraft, but work as well for larger aircraft. *Note: Holdover Times (HOT) are published in a range to account for variations in precipitation intensity: shorter time for heavier intensity, longer time for lighter intensit Type I fluids are always applied heated and diluted. For de-icing, it is the heat and hydraulic force that accomplish the task. For anti-icing, it is primarily the heat imparted to the airframe that accomplishes the task. Caution: Type I fluids have the shortest HOT. When a Type I fluid fails, it fails suddenly. Type II and IV fluids may be applied heated or cold, and diluted or full strength. In North America, typically Type IV fluids are applied cold, and only for anti-icing. In the UK, typically Type II or IV fluids are applied heated to accomplish de-icing as well as anti-icing.
