Western Polymers supports airport operations and municipal maintenance teams with engineered polymer solutions that perform reliably in extreme winter conditions. Airports, cities, and contractors rely on our polyurethane technology to improve safety, extend equipment life, and reduce maintenance interruptions especially during peak winter storm activity.
Airports face unique operational pressures: strict safety standards, noise restrictions, and the need to clear runways rapidly without damaging expensive surfaces. Municipal crews must service large city grids efficiently while keeping equipment in rotation with minimal downtime. Traditional steel blades are durable but noisy and often too aggressive for concrete pads, grooved surfaces, or sensitive infrastructure. Rubber blades offer some surface protection but wear down quickly, requiring frequent changeouts.
Our Ice Edge™ polyurethane solves this gap. Designed for cold-weather flexibility and high abrasion resistance, Ice Edge™ blades offer a clean scrape without the noise,
weight, or surface damage associated with steel. Municipal and airport teams report fewer blade replacements and smoother operation over a full winter season.
Western Polymers works directly with airport maintenance leads, municipal fleet managers, and contractors to ensure every blade or elastomer component meets the operational demands of winter in North America.
