De-icing Salt
Rock and graded sodium chloride for de-icing roads, yards and walkways — fast melt performance, even spreadability and dependable bulk supply through the winter.
How de-icing works
Lower the freezing point, keep surfaces safe
De-icing salt lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice and preventing bonding between ice and the surface below. Spread ahead of or during a freeze, it keeps roads, car parks and footpaths safe and trafficable.
The grade is chosen for spreadability and rapid action, sized for even coverage by hand or mechanical spreader, and can be supplied with an anti-caking treatment for reliable free flow from the stockpile.
Why this grade
Melt, spread, supply
01 · Performance
Fast melt
Rapid freezing-point depression clears ice quickly and helps prevent re-bonding to the surface.
02 · Coverage
Even spreadability
A graded particle size spreads evenly by hand or spreader, so no area is under- or over-treated.
03 · Supply
Winter logistics
Available loose or bagged, with stockpile and just-in-time delivery to hold the line through a cold spell.
