About ice melt and snow melt salt
Ice melt is not one product. It is a family of chemistries, from economical rock salt to calcium chloride for deep cold and pet-friendlier CMA blends, and the right one depends on your lowest temperature and the surface you are treating. Everything here ships from our Williamstown, NJ warehouse at one price for everyone, by the pail, the bag or the pallet.
Read the full guide
Start With Your Lowest Temperature
Before you look at brand or price, think about how cold it gets on the mornings you actually need to clear ice. Every deicer has a range. A product that works well at 28°F can sit on the ice doing very little at 5°F, and that is the most common reason people say their ice melt "doesn't work."
- Mostly mild winters, rarely below 15°F: rock salt (sodium chloride) is the economical choice. It works best down to roughly 15°F and slows down in deeper cold.
- Regular cold snaps: magnesium chloride sits between rock salt and calcium chloride. Magnesium Chloride Flakes Pail is rated to -15°F.
- Deep cold: calcium chloride releases heat as it dissolves and works in much colder temperatures. Power Ice Melt 96 is rated to -25°F.
Melt temperatures vary by product. Where a manufacturer lists one, you will see it in the product name, in the table below and on the product page. If a product does not list one, go by the package.
How Ice Melt Works
Ice melt lowers the freezing point of water. When the granules touch ice they start to dissolve into brine, and that brine works down through the ice and breaks its bond with the pavement. Once that bond is broken, a shovel or scraper does the rest.
That is why ice melt works best as a partner to your shovel. Clear the loose snow first, then treat the thin layer that is left.
The Main Chemistries
Rock Salt (Halite)
Rock salt is sodium chloride, the classic budget deicer for driveways, sidewalks and lots in mild cold. Choose EveryMan's Rock Salt in a 50 lb bag, Peach Country Old Salt Halite (labeled to about 5°F), or the resealable Rock Salt Ice Melt Pail. See every option in our rock salt collection.
Calcium Chloride
Calcium chloride is the one to reach for when temperatures drop well below zero. Peladow Calcium Chloride Pellets comes in 30 and 50 lb bags, and the Calcium Chloride Ice Melt Pellets Pail comes in sizes from 8 to 40 lb. Compare them all in the calcium chloride collection.
Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium chloride works colder than rock salt and is gentler on surfaces than rock salt. Dead Sea Magnesium Chloride Pellets and the flakes pail are both rated to -15°F.
Blends
Blends combine chemistries to balance cost and cold-weather performance. MeltMaxx mixes calcium chloride with rock salt and is rated to -15°F, and GTS Green Treated Salt is treated salt with magnesium chloride.
Pet-Friendlier Formulas
If dogs use your walkways, look at CMA and other pet-friendlier formulas. Blue Arctic Fox CMA is rated to -25°F, White Polar Bear CMA to -20°F, and Friendly Paw to -22°F. They are gentler on paws than rock salt when used as directed. Browse the full pet and concrete safe collection.
Liquid Ice Melt
Liquid Ice Melt is a deicer and anti-icer that comes in sizes from a 32 oz bottle to 5 gallons. Spray it before a storm to help keep ice from bonding, or use it on ice that is already there.
Compare Ice Melt by Chemistry
Which One Should You Buy?
- Best for large areas on a budget in mild cold: rock salt in 50 lb bags.
- Best for steps and entryways in hard cold: calcium chloride pellets.
- Best for a middle ground: magnesium chloride or a blend such as MeltMaxx.
- Best for homes with dogs: a CMA or other pet-friendlier formula.
- Best for getting ahead of a storm: liquid ice melt.
Rock Salt vs Ice Melt
Rock salt is one type of ice melt. It costs less per bag and does a fine job in moderate cold, but it slows down below roughly 15°F. Calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and blends cost more and keep working at lower temperatures. Magnesium chloride is also gentler on surfaces than rock salt.
How to Apply It
- Shovel or plow first, then apply ice melt to the layer that is left.
- Spread a thin, even layer at the rate on the package. More is not better.
- Use a hand or walk-behind spreader on driveways and lots for even coverage.
- Reapply as needed during a long storm, following the label.
- Sweep up leftover granules once the ice is gone so they do not get tracked indoors or washed onto your lawn.
What to Watch Out For
- New concrete: never use any deicer on concrete less than one year old.
- Pavers and natural stone: check with the surface manufacturer before using any deicer.
- Lawns and plantings: keep brine and plowed snow off planting beds and grass edges.
- Pets: wipe paws after walks, even with pet-friendlier products.
- Storage: keep bags and pails closed and dry between storms.
How Much to Order
Application rates vary by product, so the package is your guide. Plan by area: an 8 lb pail or jug for a few steps, 20 to 45 lb pails for a walkway and small driveway, and 50 lb bags for long driveways, lots and properties you maintain all winter.
Buying by the Pallet
We charge one price for everyone, whether you buy one pail or a full pallet. There are no contractor tiers and no volume discounts. Pallets ship by LTL freight, and the only thing we quote is the freight. Visit our bulk and pallet orders page to request a freight quote.
Quick Answers
What is the difference between ice melt and rock salt?
Rock salt is one type of ice melt. It is sodium chloride, it costs the least and it works best down to roughly 15°F. Other ice melts use calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, CMA or blends to keep working in colder weather or to be gentler on surfaces and paws.
What temperature does ice melt stop working?
It depends on the chemistry. Rock salt slows down in deep cold, while calcium chloride keeps working at much lower temperatures. Where a product lists a melt temperature, such as -25°F, you will find it in the product name and on the product page.
How much ice melt do I need per square foot?
Application rates vary by product, so follow the directions on the package. Shovel first, then spread a thin, even layer. Using more than the label calls for does not melt faster, it just ends up on your floors and lawn.
Should I put ice melt down before it snows?
Pre-treating is what liquid anti-icers are made for. Our Liquid Ice Melt is sold as a deicer and anti-icer, so you can put it down ahead of a storm. For granular products, follow the timing on the package.
Can I use ice melt on new concrete?
No. Any deicer can damage concrete that is less than one year old. On new concrete, shovel and use traction instead of ice melt for the first year.
