Company brief
Kilfrost is a UK-based, family-owned chemical manufacturer specialising in deicing and anti-icing fluids and heat transfer fluids, headquartered at Albion Works in Haltwhistle, Northumberland. Founded over 90 years ago by Joseph Halbert, who was inspired by the snowdrop flower, the company invented one of the first commercial aircraft deicing fluids and now positions itself as a global pioneer and leader in the category. Its aviation portfolio covers SAE AMS 1424 Type I and AMS 1428 Type II and Type IV aircraft deicing and anti-icing fluids supplied to airports, airlines, ground handlers, executive jet owners, flight schools and private aircraft owners, alongside ground and runway deicers and a range of in-flight and light aircraft deicers. Beyond aviation, Kilfrost serves rail (Kilfrost Rail and Rail Plus), HVAC, food and beverage, industrial refrigeration, renewable energy, process cooling, pneumatic equipment (notably K400 antifreeze lubricant) and data-centre liquid cooling, where its low-viscosity, less toxic and less corrosive heat transfer fluids replace conventional MEG and MPG glycols. Kilfrost operates an on-site R&D facility with cold chambers and wind tunnels, runs a SAE-standard sample analysis service to test customer tanks, equipment and storage facilities at the start of and during the winter season, and emphasises high-volume, short-turnaround supply backed by weather-predicting technology. The company markets ESG and sustainability as central to its product development, citing reduced toxicity and lower energy consumption as differentiators against legacy glycol fluids.
