Note
  • Applied Material Solutions offers a custom formulated “W” (winterized) version of all AMSol™ products listed above that can be used after thawing. The suspension is recoverable with simple mixing.*
  • *This proprietary blend depresses the freeze point but will not prevent freezing or instability due to extremely low temperatures. Winterized products should still be protected from freezing as a precaution.
