About commercial ice melt for contractors

Commercial ice melt for snow contractors, property managers, schools and towns: calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, blends, rock salt, liquids and traction grit in one place. Everyone pays the same price per bag, and pallets ship by LTL freight from Williamstown, NJ with only the freight quoted.

Read the full guide

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.

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.
