FreezeGard™ Antifreeze and Deicer: What It Is and How It Works
If you are preparing for winter weather and want to protect equipment, HVAC coils, or outdoor surfaces, FreezeGard™ is worth your attention. Traditional glycol-based antifreeze is common, but it comes with drawbacks such as corrosion, microbial growth, and messy cleanouts. FreezeGard™ gives you a cleaner option. It is non-hazardous, biodegradable, and works at extremely low temperatures, so it solves winter challenges across industrial, commercial, and even residential settings.
In this guide, we will breakdown what FreezeGard™ is, how it works, and why it can replace traditional glycol in many situations. We will also look at practical applications ranging from HVAC coil freeze protection to de icing driveways and machinery.
You can find FreezeGard™ in multiple container sizes on our website if you need bulk quantities for commercial or industrial use.
What Makes FreezeGard™ Different
FreezeGard™ is a non glycol antifreeze. That detail matters because glycol-based antifreeze can break down and turn acidic over time, which increases corrosion risk inside mechanical systems. It can also promote bacterial activity, which leads to fouling, odors, and more frequent maintenance.
FreezeGard™ avoids those issues because the formulation is stable, biodegradable, and does not decompose into corrosive by products. It protects HVAC coils and equipment against freezing without encouraging the microbial growth that is common with glycol-based options.
Key advantages
Non glycol based
Biodegradable and non hazardous
Low freezing point down to -67° Fahrenheit at full strength
No corrosive breakdown
Reduces winterization labor
Suitable for outdoor surfaces when sprayed neat
Commercial and Industrial HVAC Winterization
Many facilities winterize air handling coils by draining them before cold weather arrives. While that step prevents water expansion, it is not always reliable in extremely low temperatures. FreezeGard™ provides freeze protection without the downsides of glycol. It also removes the flushing step that typically follows seasonal winterization.
This means maintenance teams can protect coils while saving service time. The product also helps maintain the integrity of the chilled loop by avoiding the corrosion problems that glycol can introduce.
FreezeGard™ is ideal for:
Manufacturing plants
Office buildings
Retail centers
Schools and universities
Hospitals and medical facilities
Data centers and critical infrastructure systems
If your maintenance schedule includes seasonal winterizing, FreezeGard™ can be an upgrade over your current approach because you can apply it without adding extra cleanup steps.
Outdoor Deicing Applications
FreezeGard™ is also a deicer that can be used on:
Walkways
Entry areas
Loading docks
Exterior stairs
Machinery
Equipment surfaces
It can be sprayed neat for direct application. This makes it practical for property owners, landscaping crews, and facility managers who want something more environmentally responsible than traditional deicing chemicals.
Since FreezeGard™ is biodegradable, it is safer for surrounding surfaces and groundwater when compared to typical salt based deicers.
Residential Use Cases
Although FreezeGard™ is often used in industrial and commercial buildings, it also helps homeowners in cold climates who need extra freeze protection in or around their homes.
Practical examples include:
Exterior HVAC units
Heat pump outdoor coils
Garage or shop areas
Outdoor stairs or decks
Vehicle equipment
RV maintenance
Homeowners, property owners, and small businesses benefit from the same features that large facilities rely on. Even though FreezeGard™ is a professional grade product, it is easy to apply and does not require special handling or flushing.
Why Non Glycol Matters
Most people choose glycol because it is familiar, not because it is the best option. Glycol requires routine checks, can turn acidic, and often needs corrosion inhibitors. It also promotes bacterial growth in some systems, which becomes a sanitation concern.
FreezeGard™ eliminates those problems by taking glycol out of the equation. The solution stays stable, resists microbial growth, and protects metal without needing additives. That gives you a cleaner system with fewer maintenance headaches.
Packaging Options
FreezeGard™ is available in multiple sizes depending on your application:
1 gallon jug
5 gallon bucket
55 gallon drum
275 gallon tote
Commercial and industrial users often select bulk drums or totes, while residential buyers usually prefer one or five gallon sizes.
Environmental Benefits
FreezeGard™ aligns with modern sustainability goals. It is biodegradable, does not contain glycol, and does not break down into aggressive chemical by products. Facilities pursuing greener procurement policies can switch without compromising performance in low temperature environments.
If environmental responsibility is part of your purchasing criteria, FreezeGard™ satisfies both safety and effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can FreezeGard™ be reused?
Yes. FreezeGard™ can be reclaimed for reuse in many situations, which helps lower overall winterization costs.
Does it work on multi metal systems?
Yes. FreezeGard™ is safe on multiple metals and designed to protect equipment without causing corrosion.
Can I dilute FreezeGard™?
Some dilution is possible depending on temperature requirements. Check the freezing point chart on our product page for guidelines.
How to Determine the Right Amount?
Every system is different based on size, water volume, and exposure conditions. If you are winterizing an HVAC coil, you can reference the FreezeGard™ freezing point chart, on the label, to determine required concentration. If you are unsure, our team can help estimate quantity based on your installation.
For outdoor deicing, FreezeGard™ can be sprayed neat directly onto surfaces. The results are immediate in most typical winter situations.
