Melt the Ice with the Aircraft Parts&Supplies

My boyfriend is a pilot and he lives up in Alaska,and i will be moving there soon!:),but he gets all worked up when he gets over to the airstrip and ready to get going and his plane has a thick sheet of ice on the windshield and everywhere else.So he now buys this ice rid stuff for his aircraft supplies and parts.He absolutely loves the stuff and he doesn't trust anything else to use!
