ICE CONTROL SALTS We carry two brands of Ice control salt, each available in 50 pound bags. The determining factor is the temperature at which the different salts melt ice. MYTH: Ice control salt damages concrete. FACT: The freeze-thaw cycle is what does the damage. Concrete is porous and looks much like a sponge, just harder and more dense. As the ice thaws, the open areas fill with water. When the water re-freezes, it expands and breaks the surface of the concrete. This is called "spalling". It is highly recommended not to use salts on concrete that is not seasoned for three (3) years or on new non-sealed concrete. Effective Melting Temperature: Down to +6° F Active Ingredients: Sodium Chloride Effective Melting Temperature: Down to -10° F Active Ingredients: 5% Magnesium Chloride, 95% Sodium Chloride |
