Calcium Chloride Ice Melt is used to pre-treat paths and pavements before freezing occurs. This will effectively prevent ice from forming in the first place. It is viewed as one of the safest products for concrete because it de-ices at lower temperatures and faster than other alternatives.
It is also useful in treating areas where snow and ice has already occurred and will quickly go to work making paths and steps safer for all users. It does not leave a residue which would harm carpets when walked in. This makes it a great ice melting solution for homes, offices and businesses.

Preparation Surface Condition: Can be applied to paths, driveways, steps, loading bays, and parking areas. It is considered one of the safest de-icing products for concrete.
Timing: For best results, use as a pre-treatment. Apply to paths and pavements before freezing occurs to prevent ice from bonding to the surface.
Safety: This is a chemical product (Calcium Chloride); handle with care and refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.
Application
Method: Scatter the pellets evenly over the target surface.
Action: Melts ice, snow, and sleet on contact by generating heat (exothermic reaction). It is effective at temperatures as low as -15°C.
