DE-ICING SALT

De-icing salt is basically natural Sea Salt with Purity of NaCl ranging from 95 to 99.50% available in White Crystalline form with grain size 0.5 to 10mm.

To improve melt and grip of ice, salt has to be coarser than normal grain. Although, we can provide both: finely grained and coarse grain.

Why Salt Is Used In De-Icing ?

• Salt melts ice based on the process called “Freezing point depression”. It means salt lowers the freezing point of water.
• Salt makes it more difficult for water to freeze. In ideal conditions, 15 % salt solution freezes at 20°F (-6.6 °C),and a 25 % solution freezes ​at 2°F (-16.6 °C).
• Salt is the most effective option because of applying easily, low cost, etc.
