1. What is the main advantage of White De-Icing Salt over Brown Rock Salt?
The main advantage is cleanliness. White de-icing salt is purified and contains no clay or insoluble grit, which are found in brown rock salt. This means it leaves virtually no muddy or chalky residue as it melts, significantly reducing the amount of cleaning required inside buildings and preserving the appearance of pavements and entrance areas.
2. Is this white salt as effective as brown rock salt?
Yes, in terms of de-icing power, high-quality white de-icing salt (which is still predominantly sodium chloride) is equally effective. Our granulated salt offers powerful, fast-acting de-icing in tough conditions, quickly lowering the freezing point of water to clear ice and prevent refreezing.
3. How does the anti-caking agent help me?
The anti-caking agent is a critical feature for stored salt. It prevents the individual salt granules from binding together into a hard, solid mass (or "caking") when exposed to humidity and then dried. This ensures that the salt remains loose, free-flowing, and ready to be loaded into a spreader, even after being stored for months.
4. Can I use this salt in my hand-held or towed spreader?
Yes. Our white de-icing salt is specifically granulated to ensure optimal flow rates and consistent spreading when used with all commercial and residential salt spreaders, including spinner, drop, and tow-behind models.
5. How much area will a full pallet cover?
Coverage depends heavily on the spreading rate (typically $10-40$ grams per square meter). A full pallet containing approximately $940$ kg of salt could treat an area between 23,500 and 94,000 square meters for a single application, depending on the severity of the weather and the required thickness of the spread.
