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:
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
Does not contain nitrogen, sodium, or chlorides
Handling:
May be stored indefinitely if kept dry
Take care to avoid caking caused by excess moisture
Excessive handling may cause dustiness
