Commercial Brine Solution

Formulated with a precise blend of salt and water, brine effectively lowers the freezing point of ice, ensuring safe driving conditions for your staff and customers. At Fox Valley Brine, we manufacture our commercial brine solutions for roads, parking lots, and other applications.

You can apply our brine for maximum efficiency in deicing applications, enhancing heat transport to accelerate the melting process. This not only allows for rapid ice removal but prevents reformation.

Keep your roads, parking lots, and driveways clear and accessible. Call (920) 939-1788 today!

What Are the Benefits of Brine for Ice Management?

Brine proactively prevents the formation of ice, which can reduce the need for more labor-intensive ice management or more aggressive deicing measures later.

Here are the other benefits:

  • Lower freezing point: Brine reduces the freezing temperature, allowing for effective ice control in colder conditions.
  • Faster application: You can apply brine quickly and uniformly, ensuring prompt action against ice formation.
  • Prevents bonding: Brine creates a barrier that prevents ice from bonding to pavement, making removal easier.
  • Long-lasting effects: Brine remains effective longer than traditional deicing agents, reducing the need for frequent applications.
  • Reduced wear and tear: By making it easier to remove ice and snow, brine reduces the need for heavy mechanical clearing, which can cause wear and tear on your surfaces.

How Does Road Brine Enhance Deicing?

Road brine enhances deicing by lowering the freezing temperature of the solution. When you apply it to roads, the brine creates a barrier between the pavement and the snow or ice, preventing bonding and making removal easier.

For example, while road salt may depreciate in effectiveness at certain temperatures, our brine solutions extend this range. This extended effectiveness ensures safer roads for longer periods, particularly during fluctuating winter temperatures.

Fox Valley Brine’s Expertly Formulated Brine for Enhanced Deicing Efficiency

Our brine solutions are formulated for deicing efficiency, providing your customers and staff with safer, more accessible surfaces during winter weather.

Our brine:

  • Quickly lowers the freezing point to facilitate faster ice removal
  • Improves surface grip, reducing the risk of slips or accidents
  • Has versatile application (roads, parking lots, runways)
  • Provides consistent performance across temperatures and conditions
  • Minimizes the need for excessive salt, optimizing resource use

Will Anti-Icing Brines Work Under All Conditions?

Anti-icing brines are highly effective for preventing and melting ice, but they don’t work equally well under all conditions. Brines perform best when temperatures are above 15°F to 20°F. Below this range, their ability to melt ice diminishes, and alternative solutions like our Turbo Melt Treated Salt may be needed.

Should You Apply Brines Before or After Storms?

Brines are ideal for pre-treatment before storms. Pre-storm application allows for the brine to create a thin, protective layer that keeps snow and ice from sticking to roads, sidewalks, or parking lots.

This proactive approach makes snow removal easier and reduces the need for additional deicing materials later. By acting as a barrier, brines help maintain safer surfaces, save time, and improve overall efficiency during winter weather.

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.
