What Kind of Salt Is Used To Melt Ice?

The salt commonly used for melting ice is rock salt (sodium chloride) or calcium chloride. Rock salt works effectively at temperatures just below freezing, whereas calcium chloride is more powerful and can melt ice at much lower temperatures. Both salt types lower the water's freezing point, causing ice to melt and preventing new ice from forming. This makes walkways, driveways, and roads safer to use.

Some ice melting salt is also treated with specialized solutions to enhance its performance. Our Turbo Melt Treated Salt is one of these, with the treatment extending its effectiveness down to temperatures as low as -45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Which Is the Best Salt for Melting Ice?

You’ll want a salt that’s effective while being less invasive to surfaces and the environment.

Our Turbo Melt Treated Salt is 90% naturally less corrosive, offering powerful performance with minimal damage to the areas it’s applied to. Even less corrosive salts can be highly effective—ours works in extreme temperatures and easily cuts through thick layers of ice. Plus, it provides lasting coverage, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.

  • Melt ice faster and at lower temperatures, performing down to -30°F
  • Minimize corrosion risks with an organic additive that makes it 90% naturally less corrosive
  • Be pet-friendly, environmentally safe
  • Be 100% biodegradable
  • Protect surface areas from repeated freeze-thaw damage
  • Use less salt than traditional products

With competitive pricing, bulk availability, and industry expertise, our unwavering goal is to ensure your winter maintenance operations remain effective, cost-efficient, and environmentally responsible.

How Can You Make Ice Melting Salt More Environmentally Friendly?

Turbo Melt Treated Salt’s environmentally friendly status comes from its reduced corrosiveness and its prevention of stockpile leaching. Corrosive road salt can quickly damage infrastructure, like roads and driveways, while speeding up the oxidation process for metals.

Stockpile leaching refers to the loss of the treatment solution while the salt is in storage, usually due to adhesion issues. Our treated salt minimizes leaching, protecting the surrounding surfaces and vegetation.

Are Salt and Brine the Same Thing?

No, salt and brine are not the same thing. Salt is the solid form, which you can spread on icy surfaces. Brine, on the other hand, is a liquid mixture of salt and water. Brine is often used to pre-treat roads before a storm because it sticks to the surface and starts working immediately, preventing ice from forming. Both make surfaces safer, but one is solid, and the other is liquid.

How To Apply Ice Melters

Applying ice melters is a simple process; here’s how you do it:

  1. Clear the area: Remove any loose snow from the surface using a shovel or snow blower before applying the ice melter.
  2. Spread evenly: Use a handheld spreader or a scoop to evenly distribute the ice melter across the area.
  3. Avoid over-application: Apply the ice melter sparingly. Using too much can damage surfaces and vegetation.
  4. Allow time to work: Give the ice melter enough time to dissolve and penetrate the ice before attempting to remove it.

Can Ice Melt Damage Concrete?

Damage can occur if ice melt is used improperly or if a low-quality salt is applied, especially on newer or porous concrete. Choosing a fast-acting formula that works in extremely low temperatures helps reduce the need for repeated applications, which can accelerate deterioration.

A high-quality ice melt forms a brine solution upon contact, breaking through ice quickly while preventing new ice from forming. Selecting the right product and applying it correctly can minimize freeze-thaw damage and help protect concrete surfaces.

Our team provides high-quality, naturally less corrosive salt and can help you with application methods that will protect your concrete surfaces.

How Often Do You Need To Reapply Ice Melt?

How often you need to reapply ice melt depends on the weather conditions and the thickness of the ice. The recommended application rate is generally 4 pounds per 1000 square feet. If you see that most of the ice has melted but there are still some patches, it’s safe to reapply. It’s always better to start with less and add more as needed rather than using too much at once.
