What is Ice Melt? Ice melt changes the chemical make up of water and ice to lower the freezing temperature to keep water from freezing in low temperatures. Depending on the makeup of the ice melt the freezing temperature can be lowered a few degrees or as much as -15 degrees F. Many ice melts are a blend of calcium chloride pellets, sodium chloride, and magnesium pellets. Calcium chloride is considered to be the best compound of an ice melt due to its’ ability to melt ice faster and it has a long-lasting action. Ice melt may come in the form of flakes, crystals, or balls and can melt ice in temperatures down to -15 degrees F. You can also use an ice melt to prevent new ice from forming by spreading it prior to ice forming. How does an Ice Melt work? You can use ice melt to keep sidewalks from forming ice and to melt ice that has accumulated. Ice melt works by interacting with water and ice to form a liquid brine that in turn generates heat that melts the ice. The brine spreads ou...

How Safe Paw Works Safe Paw is made of a modified crystalline amide center, interspersed with glycol admixture and also contains traction agents.
