Salt Products and Accessories for Contractors

Road salt works by lowering the freezing point of water - a process termed “freezing point depression”. In a nutshell, the salt breaks into its component ions in a small amount of liquid water. The added particles make it more difficult for the water to freeze into ice, lowering the freezing point of the water. So, for road salt to work, there needs to be a tiny bit of liquid water. This is part of the reason why road salt is not effective in extremely cold weather when water would freeze too easily. Road salt is used to control snow and ice. As the temperature drops, salt's effectiveness slows to the point that when you get down near -10 degrees (C) and below, salt barely works.

Rock salt is the most cost-effective product available for removing snow and ice. It’s easy to use, store and apply, and its effectiveness at keeping parking lots and sidewalks clear makes it the cornerstone in most snow removal programs. It can be used alone or with an additive, depending upon weather conditions.

When temperatures are below -10 degrees (C), road salt is mixed with catalysts in order for the salt to brine and to work effectively. Using liquid to "pre-wet" conventional solid de-icers also reduces bounce, scatter, and environmental emissions, while increasing performance and service levels. Using the power of magnesium chloride, liquids are used by leading salt companies to significantly improve the working temperature of salt and accelerate the brining process for faster melting. Treated salt is coloured blue to aid in product distribution when applying. This premium product will be effective up to -21 degrees (C) and will have longer lasting results than un-treated road salt.

Better for the environment – Our magnesium chloride is approved for organic production as a crop fertilizer and soil amendment by OMRI in the US and Canada. Treated salt is twice as effective as salt, and 80% less corrosive.

Bulk salt is sold by the yard. Increments of 1/2 yards only.

Great for traction during freezing rain and on gravel lots.

Sand/salt mix is sold by the yard. Increments of 1/2 yards only. Straight sand is also available (special order only).

Conveniently packaged in a pail with a lid for safe storage. Scoop not included. Return the empty pail and lid and receive a $2.00 refund.

ProMelt Essential Snow and Ice Melter works faster than ordinary rock salt and melts snow and ice at temperatures as low as -18 degree (C). ProMelt Essential is a blend of magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, and 15 trace minerals in each granule. It is optimally sized for easy spreading and is often coloured to aid in product distribution during application. ProMelt Essential will leave a residue and may continue to work during light snowfalls. Ice Melter, due to its granule size and coatings, does not easily track into buildings, and is pet friendly.

ProMelt Essential is available in 20 kg bags.

Meltco’s Lake Effect snow and ice melter is easy to handle and ideal for spreading. It is non-caking and non-tracking and works in low temperatures while providing traction. It is a perfect economical solution for large areas. No nitrogen or phosphorus has been added. The screened granulation minimizes the usage and optimizes the melting effectiveness. Non-staining bio-degradable purple colour indicator.

Lake Effect is available in 50 lb bags.

This 100% natural eco-friendly formula makes MeltCo™ Premium a very safe and effective de-icer. MeltCo™ Premium De-icer is a very friendly option for snow and ice melting around children, pets, softscapes, hardscapes, roofs, and vegetation. It consists of naturally occurring complex trace minerals and micro nutrients in addition to the chloride family and MCi3. The MCi3 solution is formulated with CMA and organic elements extracted from sea water. Its natural ability along with minerals and micro nutrients buffers the effects of chlorides on vegetation and environment. MeltCo™ Premium de-icer has no added nitrogen or phosphorus, making it an ideal option for de-icing around any body of water.

Designed for faster melting and easier spreading at colder temperatures than typical ice melting products. The green biodegradable colorant added to the product minimizes the usage and increases its effectiveness.

Premium De-Icer is available in 50 lb bags.

This 100% natural eco-friendly formula makes Nature’s Force™ a safe and effective de-icer. It is a friendly option for snow and ice melting around children, pets, softscapes, hardscapes, and vegetation. In addition, it consists of naturally occurring complex trace minerals and micronutrients, creating a longer residual effect.

Available in 50 lb bags.

Liquid de-icing involves either a pro-active application or re-active placement of a liquid ice melting agent on the pavement surface prior to the accumulation of frozen precipitation, or to an already existing ice or hard-packed snow surface. When applied in a stream pattern, performance enhancing liquids vertically penetrate the snowpack and break the bond at the road surface. Using liquid to "pre-wet" conventional solid de-icers also reduces bounce, scatter, and environmental emissions while increasing performance and service levels. Safe for the environment – Our magnesium chloride is safe for the environment and approved for organic production as a crop fertilizer or soil amendment by OMRI (the Organic Materials Review Institute) in the United States and Canada.

Refined corn carbohydrate derivative blended with magnesium chloride engineered for snow and ice control, delivering unparalleled performance in colder environments.

Available in 1000 L tote.

ProMelt™ liquids are effective pre-wetting agents for salt and sand, reducing bounce and scatter and decreasing the time needed for salt to begin melting. They can be used to pre-wet treated salt, thus further enhancing melting performance.

High performance magnesium chloride liquid that delivers a strong residual effect on road surfaces, improving melting on road surfaces and results in long lasting performance.
