Could you use Peak Ecoshield or Sierra propylene glycol as ice melt?

Some airports use propylene glycol as deicer for their runways, and Peak Ecoshield is propylene glycol

The propylene glycol coolant costs much less than other liquid deicers (for example, Bare Ground's liquid deicers are $20+ a gallon and not sold in stores, while Ecoshield is $11 and easily available at Walmart)

Is there anything in the PG coolant that would prevent it from being good to melt ice on your driveway or sidewalk?

It won't mix well with ice, and would make an absolute MESS of your windshield!

They don't use propylene glycol on the runways. They use heated propylene glycol on the wings and the waste water is collected.

You shouldn't pour antifreeze on the ground...
