Lightbu Untitled 15De Snow Untitled 1De-snow with treated salt

Using Thawrox treated salt instead of untreated salt can reduce applications by 20 to 30 percent, says its manufacturer. Combining the performance of liquid de-icing technology with rock salt, Thawrox was awarded the “Design for the Environment” label by the EPA. It leads to a significant reduction of chlorides entering the environment, and its nonstaining coolant will not impact roads, waterways or vegetation. There is less bounce and scatter, and less binding and clumping in the spreader, says Thawrox. It “eliminates the need to install pre-wet equipment and provides better coverage than pre-wetting techniques,” says Thawrox, and it “reduces or eliminates the need for sand and sand clean-up.” What’s more, says the company, it’s quicker and more effective than untreated salt and “reduces corrosion by 50 percent.” nasalt.com
