When winter weather strikes fast, your helipad can’t afford to wait. That’s why FEC Heliports offers SAFEMELT, a fast-acting, environmentally friendly de-icing solution engineered specifically for use on and around helipads.
What Is SAFEMELT?
SAFEMELT is a granular UREA-based snow and ice melt that works quickly to break down winter buildup without damaging your helipad surface or surrounding landscaping. Unlike traditional rock salt or harsher chemical melts, SAFEMELT is non-corrosive, biodegradable, and leaves no residue behind.
Whether you’re managing rooftop, ground-level, or remote helipads, SAFEMELT delivers reliable performance that supports safe operations—no matter how unpredictable the weather gets.
Designed for Aluminum Helipads
Electric and hydronic snowmelt systems are ideal for proactive surface safety, but for sudden storms or backup needs, SAFEMELT is the go-to solution—especially for aluminum helipads, which can be damaged by conventional salts.

Use SAFEMELT Alongside Your Snowmelt System
Think of SAFEMELT as your winter operations safety net. It’s perfect for:
- Emergency de-icing before or after helicopter landings
- Perimeter safety zones and stair access
- Backup safety during unexpected temperature drops
Why Snowmelt Systems Still Matter
While SAFEMELT offers fast, efficient surface-level melting power, it’s just one part of a comprehensive winter safety plan. Built-in snowmelt systems—whether electric, hydronic, or hybrid—ensure that rooftop and ground-level helipads remain operational even during heavy snowfall or freezing rain.
If you’re planning a new helipad or updating an existing one, be sure to consider both surface deicers like SAFEMELT and integrated snowmelt infrastructure.
