The purpose of this paper to is to review the methodology applied by Collins Aerospace to develop, test and qualify a more robust surface ply rubber compound that has demonstrable improvements in durability and performance at sub-freezing temperatures. Using in-service products as a reference, pneumatic deicers in use on regional turboprop applications were selected as a basis for operational characteristics and observed failure modes. Custom test campaigns were developed by Collins to comparatively evaluate key characteristics of the surface ply material including low temperature elasticity, erosion durability, and fluid susceptibility. Collins’ proprietary engineered rubber formulations were individually evaluated and built into fully functional test deicers for component level testing to DO-160G environmental exposure, comparative ice shed performance in Collins’ Icing Wind Tunnel and erosion in Collins’ Rain Erosion Silo.
