Abstract
This study evaluates the anti-icing properties of flame-sprayed polyethylene (PE) coatings. In laboratory scale icing tests, thermally sprayed polymer coatings showed low ice adhesion compared to metals such as aluminum and stainless steel. The ice adhesion of flame-sprayed PE coatings was found to be roughly seven times lower than that of bulk aluminium and five times lower than that of bulk stainless steel.
