 |
Grit - has little ice or snow melting properties and only provides grip for vehicles. Often bagged and has a sandy texture. Very difficult to spread with any pedestrian spreader due to high moisture content and texture. Spreadability - Average when dry |
 |
 |
Road Salt - has a gritty appearance but it is not “grit”. The salt works by lowering the freezing point of moisture on the road surface and needs to be crushed by the traffic and dissolve to be effective. Is less effective below -5°C and has virtually no effect below -10°C. Spreadability - Good when dry |
||
 |
Processed Salts - white de-icing salt is of higher purity and does not contain a high percentage of insoluble impurities that create a muddy sludge associated with road salt and grit. Processed salt is clean and leaves little or no residue on the ground. |
||
 |
Ice Melts - Designed and manufactured for effective performance at a greater range of temperatures, Ice melt products are free flowing and consistent in appearance and often non corrosive to spreading equipment. Spreadability - Excellent |
