Ohio winters put constant pressure on roads, parking lots, and walkways, and traditional road salt does not always keep up. As temperatures drop, standard sodium chloride becomes less effective, while corrosion, concrete damage, and environmental runoff continue to add long-term costs. For many Ocommunities and...
Salt shortages have become a recurring issue in winter maintenance planning. Municipalities, DOTs, commercial contractors and industrial property owners rely heavily on rock salt for deicing, yet unpredictable supply chains and rising seasonal demand leave many scrambling for alternatives. When salt availability declines or salt...
Winter conditions across Ohio put constant pressure on roads and other critical infrastructure. Traditional rock salt has long been used for ice control, but many communities are now reevaluating that approach as weather patterns, maintenance demands, and environmental concerns continue to evolve. This has increased...
Michigan winters are unpredictable, and road crews often need something that performs better than basic rock salt. Shifting temperatures and quick-moving storms can make it harder for traditional salt to keep roads clear, which is why many agencies are exploring a more dependable Michigan Road...
Ohio winters can shift from light snow to icy roads in a matter of hours, making reliable ice control essential for safe travel. Pre-wetting salt offers a smarter, more efficient way to fight winter storms, helping road crews melt ice faster while using less material....
Keeping Michigan roads safe during the winter is no small task. Snow, ice, and frigid temperatures make driving conditions unpredictable, and road crews need effective tools to stay ahead of the storm. That’s where Michigan Pre-Wetting Salt comes in. By treating road salt with a...
This winter’s extreme conditions have led to a significant road salt shortage, making it crucial for county and city highway departments to maximize alternative de-icing methods. Fortunately, liquid calcium chloride and salt brine, both of which we have in stock, offer effective solutions to keep...
Calcium Chloride is refined from naturally occurring brine material. This material is relatively low in toxicity and should present no unusual hazards to environment under most circumstances. Calcium Chloride presents the same handling concerns as other inorganic chlorides, such as sodium chloride. Reasonable handling, care and...
Anti-icing, de-icing and pre-wetting materials are different ways to use Calcium Chloride in winter. At a recent educational session with DOT employees that use Calcium Chloride with Boost, there was a bit of confusion when it came to terminology that is commonly used throughout the...
To determine the amount of deicer for a parking lot, you need to do a few simple calculations based on area. You will also need a few simple tools to ensure accuracy. You can get an estimated distance by utilizing google maps. This works by...
