The Best Ice Melt Solutions for Winter Weather Freeze


As winter fast approaches, homeowners, municipalities, retail stores and building maintenance managers must turn their attention to solving the problem of icy driveways, roads and public walkways. To keep these surfaces safe from hazardous and slippery ice buildup, various ice melting compounds can be deployed. With so many ice melting products available, it can be a challenge to find the right products that work best in varied climate conditions. As ice melt products and chemical formulations vary, so do the costs and effectiveness of getting rid of dangerous ice buildup. Additionally, many of the products offered today can be corrosive to surfaces and hazardous wildlife and the environment. The good news is that there are now more effective, cost efficient and environmentally friendly solutions available to melt ice on most any surface.

In winters past, the most common products used for ice control were formulations of sodium chloride, also known as rock salt. However, this traditional approach has demonstrated limited effectiveness in extremely cold temperatures, often failing to melt ice at temperatures below 20 degrees. Additionally, rock salt can have a corrosive effect on steel and rebar embedded in concrete and it is known to cause damage to landscapes including grass, trees and shrubbery. Today, 'liquid' ice melt products offer a more advanced and efficient solution to eliminate ice and keep facilities, sidewalks and other surfaces safe during the coldest months. In the coldest climates, liquid ice melt formulas are designed to be effective in temperatures as low as minus 60 degrees.

Interstate Products, Inc. (IPI), the leading provider of spill containment products and the preferred source for environmental and industrial solutions now offers a selection of Liquid Ice Melt formulations, just in time for the winter season. In sizes from one gallon containers to 55 gallon drums, IPI is offering free shipping in the contiguous 48 states on most orders. When the job calls for an industrial, commercial or residential ice melting solution that is fast, efficient and cost effective, consider these options from Interstate Products:
