Default ice melt

I've always had a well founded and severe fear of using any type of ice melt
product around our hanger entrance. As a farmer, I know what ammonium
nitrate, ammonium sulfate, potassium chloride etc. are and what they can do
to your equipment. Recently our FBO started selling an palletized ice melt
made of ammonium sodium acetate, the dry prilled form of the liquid product
that they spray on the runways as a ice preventative.

Does anybody know the corrosive properties of ammonium sodium acetate?

Thanks
Jim
