Frequently Asked Questions About Our Ice Melt

Calcium chloride pellets (like Prestone Driveway Heat) melt ice faster and at lower temperatures than traditional rock salt.

Halite Ice Melt (rock salt) can be harsh on concrete and vegetation over time. For a safer option, consider Ice Burner Premium which is a magnesium-based blend with CMA.

Our Safe Pet Ultra Ice Melter and Safe Paw Ice Melt are formulated to be less irritating to paws and safer for animals and the environment.

Avoid using traditional rock salt on wooden surfaces—it can cause drying and cracking. A pet-safe or magnesium-based product is a better choice.

It depends on the size of the area and the severity of the ice. A 50 lb. bag covers about 1,000 sq. ft. under normal conditions. You can always call us at 908-359-5173 for assistance.
