Ice Melter and How it Works
|
When ice melter granules contact ice or snow, they begin to form a brine solution. This brine is central to the melting process, as it will not freeze initially.
The brine becomes more diluted as it melts the ice or snow, until it eventually refreezes. How long it takes for this refreezing to occur depends on the amount of ice melter applied and the effectiveness of each granule.
Some ingredients melt ice at lower temperatures, and prevent refreezing longer than others. For example rock salt will melt down to 10F (-12C), while urea will only melt ice down to 25F (-4C).
Superior Snow N'Ice is effective to -20F (-29C).
Follow application rates. Studies have shown that ice melters are often applied at 2 to 5 times the recommended rate. Aside from the potential environmental damage caused by this over application, the increase in cost is staggering! If possible use a broadcast spreader and follow directions on the bag. Superior Sno N'Ice is pink is colour and helps reduce the risk of over application. When use as directed Superior Sno N'Ice will not harm vegetation, pets or concrete. It is non-toxic and will not track in or leave stains on the floor & carpets
