Commercial Brine Solution

What Commercial Applications Is Salt Brine Suitable For?

Our salt brine is highly effective for road maintenance in cold conditions. Its liquid form allows for even distribution across surfaces, making it ideal for highways and city streets. You can also apply it proactively before a storm to create a protective layer that prevents ice from bonding to your pavement.

It’s also important to avoid uneven deicing to prevent accidents in commercial settings. Using our brine, you can treat your entire parking lot, including areas between parked vehicles. This ensures customers and employees can safely access your facility at all times.

Aside from parking lots, here are other areas where our brines work best:

• Roads and highways: Brines are excellent for pre-treating large roadways, preventing ice buildup and keeping traffic flowing safely during storms.
• Sidewalks and walkways: Brines are highly effective at preventing ice from bonding to sidewalks, ensuring safe and accessible pedestrian pathways.
• Loading docks and ramps: Slippery loading docks and ramps can be hazardous for workers and equipment. Brines reduce ice formation and maintain safety in these high-use areas.
• Bridges and overpasses: These surfaces freeze faster due to cold air exposure. Brine solutions help prevent ice from forming, improving safety in these critical areas.
• Commercial entrances: Brines help keep entrances to businesses clear of ice, reducing the risk of slip-and-fall accidents and improving accessibility for customers and employees.

How Do Sidewalk Salts and Road Salts Differ?

Sidewalk salts and road salts differ primarily in their composition, application, and intended use.

Here’s how:

• Sidewalk salts: These salts are typically finer and smaller in granule size, making them ideal for pedestrian areas like sidewalks, walkways, and steps. They are often formulated to be less abrasive and safer for concrete surfaces, pets, and landscaping. Some blends also include additives to reduce environmental impact.
• Road salts: Road salts are coarser and designed for large-scale applications on roads, parking lots, and high-traffic areas. Their larger granules allow for better coverage and slower melting, making them more effective for clearing ice and snow over expansive areas.

Can Heavy Traffic Wash Away Anti-Icing Brine?

Heavy traffic can wash away anti-icing brine, reducing its effectiveness over time. When vehicles pass over treated surfaces, the brine solution can be displaced, especially in high-traffic areas like roads, parking lots, and intersections. The liquid nature of brine makes it more susceptible to wear and tear from tires, which can scatter it or push it to the edges of the surface.

Regular monitoring and reapplication may be necessary in busy areas or during prolonged storms. You might have to re-apply the anti-icing brines in your high-traffic areas for optimal results. Despite this limitation, our anti-icing brines remain highly effective when properly managed, offering you excellent protection against ice buildup.
