Ice Melt is a non-toxic, crystalline, ice melting agent, which is highly effective down to -50 Degrees Celcius. The product can be applied directly to snow, ice and black ice and is 10 times more effective than traditional salt, due to its ability to generate heat when it comes into contact with water. Application of a small amount of Ice Melt will melt thick ice, with no damaging effects on concrete, metals or vegetation. Apply to stairs, walkways, loading platforms, refrigerated storage, shop entrances and car parks etc., to prevent slips and falls and keep them ice free for several days. Unlike traditional rock salt, ice melt contains no abrasive material that will damage internal flooring.
