De-Icing Solutions > Salt Brine Additives
Product Details
Additives can be used along with your brine to supercharge your application. Ready-made additives have many key ingredients to help prevent issues that can be caused by using rock salt or salt brine alone.
These key ingredients include:
- Tackifiers to help the product hold to the surface through traffic, wind and rain.
- Corrosion inhibitors to protect your equipment and your customer’s property. These inhibitors can make your applications up to 80% less corrosive than rock salt alone.
- Polymers that aid with traction even when there might be a glaze on the lot and help deform ice particles that do form to make ice less slippery (rough ice vs. smooth ice).
- Organic content that substantially lowers the freezing point of water and also help deform ice particles as they form. At temperatures where untreated rock salt becomes ineffective, salt brine blended with quality additives will continue working at much colder temperatures. In addition, this organic content means that even when your chlorides are diluted, you still have protection against refreeze. We recommend using a quality ready-made additive when working temperatures go below 15º
Recommended use of additives
We recommend using a quality ready-made additive when working temperatures go below 15º F. Additionally, if you service a high-moisture content area or are looking for some of the other benefits listed above, we recommend using a quality additive.
We offer quality additives by 5 gallon pail, 50 gallon drum, 275 gallon tote, or in bulk quantities of your choosing. We offer hassle free pickup and delivery.
