Since its inception, Hydrothane has been recognized for its superior resistance to frazil ice.  Simply stated, frazil ice does not easily attach to Hydrothane trashracks.   After routine installations in salt water and zebra mussel infested fresh water, it was discovered that the same properties that prevent frazil ice attachment also restrict the growth of marine organisms on the racks themselves, thus spawning another benefit to our customers.
