Kilfrost Archive: In Motion ✈️

Not every archive image has to feel old-school...
This striking image from the early 2000s captures a ground team in the United States de-icing an aircraft while battling the very conditions they’re working to overcome.

Snow, wind, low visibility - and a team keeping operations moving regardless.

For us, it’s a brilliant snapshot of Kilfrost in action and a reminder that behind every de-icing operation are people, precision and products working together when conditions are at their toughest.

A true picture of Kilfrost in motion.

A short visual introduction to another one of our specialities - rail de-icing 🚆

At Kilfrost, de-icing has been part of our story for generations - helping keep critical transport networks moving safely and reliably when winter conditions arrive.

From aviation to rail, our work is built on trust, technical expertise and a commitment to performance in challenging conditions.

And just like our aircraft de-icing animation that we shared earlier this year, we’re continuing to find new and creative ways to bring the world of Kilfrost to life.

Thank you to Dylan Wynne for another fantastic visual.

Autumn has arrived in Haltwhistle… 🍂

The crisp air has landed, the days are getting shorter, and our teams are starting to feel the beginning of the busy season here at Kilfrost.

As preparations ramp up across the business, we’re making the most of the last few glimpses of summer sunshine before winter really gets underway.

A familiar time of year for us - and one we’re always ready for.

Meet Dharmesh 👋
Putting a face to the name behind Kilfrost.

Dharmesh joined Kilfrost in July 2025 and works within our Aircraft Deicing team across sales and technical account management, supporting aviation and ground deicing customers around the world.

For Dharmesh, one of the best parts of Kilfrost is the people:
“There is a huge amount of knowledge and experience within the business, and everyone is genuinely passionate about what they do.”

That people-first approach carries through into the way he works with customers too. With every location bringing different weather conditions, infrastructure and operational requirements, no two conversations are quite the same.

“Every customer has different challenges… so there is always something new to learn.”

Dharmesh has also enjoyed representing Kilfrost internationally, including at the SAE G-12 meeting in Quebec and GSE Expo Europe in Lisbon - opportunities to meet people from across the industry, exchange ideas and build long-term relationships.

We asked Dharmesh; What makes Kilfrost different?
“For me, it is the combination of experience, technical knowledge, and the personal relationships we build with our customers.”

Away from deicing, Dharmesh is also a keen cook and enjoys recreating dishes inspired by the places he’s travelled to🌍

That balance of heritage and innovation remains a big part of who we are. But ultimately, it’s the people at Kilfrost who make the business what it is today - the knowledge they share, the relationships they build and the pride they take in what they do.

So, if you’ve spoken to Dharmesh over the phone or met him at an event, you can now put a face to the name ❄

Summer 2026 - Wrapped! ☀️

As the seasons begin to change, we’re looking back on what has been a pretty special summer here at Kilfrost.

From events and exhibitions, traveling, to welcoming people to our home in Haltwhistle, firing up the BBQ with the team and spending an unforgettable day with the brilliant Wings4Warriors - there have been plenty of moments worth remembering...

But looking back, it’s not really the places we’ve been or the things we’ve done that stand out. It’s the people we’ve shared them with.

For almost 95 years, Kilfrost has remained a family-owned business, rooted right here in our Northumberland home of Haltwhistle. A lot has changed over those years, but that sense of family, community and doing things together remains at the heart of who we are.

A great summer, with a great team!
Now, onto our favourite time of year… ❄️

One from the Archive... ❄

In the1930s Joseph Halbert’s New Method of Defrosting included a paste to prevent ice formation applied on the wall and roof grids in cold store chambers.

This picture shows the Kilfrost paste being applied in a refrigeration chamber at the Union Chambers, St John Street, Smithfield, London. A single application of this non-corrosive and non-toxic paste could last from six months up to two and a half years. The success of the product and its energy saving economic advantages led to worldwide use in refrigeration and by the Royal Navy. The inventor then concentrated on other types of Kilfrost to combat the problems of ice formation across many industries including railways.

In 1935 Imperial Airways approached Joseph to develop a product to prevent and reduce ice formation on aircraft. It took three years of intensive research before a satisfactory de-icing paste was produced, which could adhere at a speed of 400 mph, stop dangerous ice formation, be non-flammable and non-toxic. The refrigeration chambers at Smithfield were again the location for early testing of the product’s performance using the paste on aircraft wings with wind fans to simulate flight in icey conditions.

In universal use by the RAF by 1940, the product was constantly improved during World War Two and led to the development of the Kilfrost Manufacturing Company’s pioneering aircraft de-cing liquid.
