Benefits

Low corrosion:  less corrosive than tap water  

Safe for concrete:  the safest deicer for concrete

Excellent inhibitor:  reduces chloride corrosion

Safe for the environment:  biodegradable, low toxicity

Residual effect:  requires fewer applications

Multi-purpose:  use straight, with salt, with sand, or as a liquid

 

Application

Apply early in the storm to prevent snow/ice bonding

First application:  Commercial = 15-20 lbs./1000 ft2(75-100 g/m2)

   Highway = 300-400 lbs./lane mile (20-40 g/m2)

Wait at least 20 minutes to remove snow/ice

Re-apply when new snow/ice accumulation shows first tendency to pack (bond)

 

Environment

Biodegrades to CO2and H2O

Calcium and magnesium increase soil permeability

Essentially non-toxic to aquatic species

Poor mobility in soil - unlikely to reach groundwater

Safe for vegetation
