When you just need clean, coarse rock salt that does its job, this is it. Our rock salt ice melt comes in resealable pails, so it stays dry and ready by the door, with a granule size that bites into ice quickly and adds traction while it works.

The short version. Always follow the directions on the package.

Give it a few minutes to break the bond between ice and pavement.

How It Works
Rock salt dissolves into brine that lowers the freezing point of water, eating through snowpack and loosening ice from the pavement. The coarse grains also give you traction underfoot while they melt.

How to Use Rock Salt Ice Melt Pail
- Shovel or plow loose snow first so the melter can reach the ice underneath.
- Spread a thin, even layer by hand scoop or with a broadcast or drop spreader. More is not better; a light, uniform coat works faster and wastes less.
- Give it a few minutes to break the bond between the ice and the pavement, then shovel away the loosened slush.
- Before a storm, pre-treat walkways and steps with a light application to help keep ice from bonding.
- Sweep up leftover granules once surfaces are dry so they are not tracked indoors.
- Keep the lid tightly closed between uses. Ice melters pull moisture from the air and can clump if left open.

Safety Data Sheets and Documentation

Rock salt (sodium chloride) works best when pavement temperatures are above roughly 15°F and slows down as it gets colder. For deep cold, choose a calcium chloride or magnesium chloride melter. Rock salt can harm grass, plants and young concrete, so sweep up excess and keep it off lawns and garden beds.
