About commercial ice melt for contractors

Match the Product to the Surface and the Cold
Rock salt (sodium chloride) works best down to roughly 15°F and slows in deeper cold, which makes it a fit for big lots on milder storms. Calcium chloride releases heat as it dissolves and keeps working in much colder weather, so crews use it on steps, ramps and entrances. Magnesium chloride sits between the two and is gentler on surfaces than rock salt.
- Parking lots and drive lanes: EveryMan's Rock Salt, Safe Step 3300 Halite and Morton Rock Salt.
- Steps, ramps and entrances: Power Ice Melt 96 (rated to -25°F), Safe Step 7300 and Qik Joe Calcium Chloride Pellets.
- Blends for mixed conditions: MeltMaxx (calcium chloride and rock salt, rated to -15°F) and Safe Step Power 6300 (rated to -10°F). More in blended ice melt.
- Walkways with pets and heavy foot traffic: Orange Walrus CMA and Blue Emperor, gentler on paws than rock salt when used as directed.
- Pre-treating: Liquid Ice Melt Deicer and Anti-Icer and Bare Ground Liquid Ice Melt. See liquid ice melt.
- Traction only: Glacier Grip Stone Dust Traction Grit adds grip without melting.

Buying by the Pallet
When you need wholesale quantities, send your product list through the bulk and pallet orders page. We build the pallet and quote the LTL freight to your yard or site. The per-bag price stays the same as a single bag, because we do not run contractor tiers or volume discounts. Browse pallet-ready items in bulk and pallet orders.
What to Watch Out For
- Any deicer can damage concrete less than one year old. Keep ice melt off new concrete.
- Application rates and melt temperatures vary by product. Follow the package for each one.
- Store bags covered and off the ground so they stay free-flowing.
Quick Answers
Do contractors get special pricing?
No. Everyone pays the same price, from homeowners to snow contractors and towns. There are no contractor tiers or volume discounts. Pallets add only a freight quote.
What ice melt do commercial properties use?
Most properties use a mix: rock salt for large open areas in milder cold, and calcium chloride, magnesium chloride or a blend for steps, entrances and very cold nights. Pet-friendlier products suit walkways with heavy foot traffic.
Can I get a pallet delivered to my yard?
Yes. Pallets ship by LTL freight from our warehouse in Williamstown, NJ. Send your list through the bulk and pallet orders page for a freight quote.
Is liquid ice melt worth using?
Liquid ice melt can be sprayed before a storm as an anti-icer or used on ice that has already formed. Follow the product directions for rates and timing.
What should I use when I need traction but not melting?
Glacier Grip Stone Dust Ice Traction Grit does not melt ice. It adds grip on snow and ice and can be used alongside an ice melt.
