Urea is used by some airports as a runway deicing agent.

Only for those who have a flock mentality towards bicycle maintenance.

i make my own--use a metal container pour some paint thinner in it--take a
few afew!!!! slivers of candle wax and put it in the thinner--let it
disolve--use it as chain lube

if you find a plastic container of paint thinner put the wax sliver in
it--puncture the cap with a safty pine bottle now acts as a spray
container--place the saftey pin back in the hole you made--kkep the
container in a metal box as it is a fire hazzard


i clean the chain on my bike with carburator spray cleaner or 100% acetone
from beauty suppliers--use puin technique as noted above--never had a
problem with my chains or shifting problems--60 years sof riding bikes

********. That would be horribly expensive.

The mechanisms are not similar.

Much less corrosive than sodium chloride, and the runoff doesn't kill
the grass on the verges.

expensive throwing anything away.

what's a different mechanism? throw slippery stuff into slippery
liquid, spread it between two surfaces, surfaces slide on the slippery
stuff.

you breathe air right?

no stupid I breathe oxygen. ok.

who are you? jim beam?

Usually far more expensive to not throw it away, when you're talking
about hard-to-safely-recover small quantities of chemicals in a large
container; that's one more reason why there is so much waste. It's
*much* cheaper, and a lot more reliable, to simply buy the resin and
hardener in bulk in the desired quantity, and then package them.

Lies like "barrel scrapings" belong in the same WWN-level trash pile
with "McDonalds uses ground earthworms." Your credibility suffers
greatly by your giving the appearance of buying them.

Teflon is slippery, and compresses under load into a thinner but wider
particle, while moly disulfide shears under pressure into multiple
smaller particles. Teflon does nothing once the particle thickness is
below the average surface irregularity height, while moly continues to
shear until the particles are very fine indeed.

Them's fightin' words.
