About this item
- Extreme-Cold Performance: Calcium chloride stays effective at temperatures far below where sodium chloride slows down.
- Heat-Releasing Pellets: An exothermic reaction warms the ice as the pellet dissolves, so it bores through quickly.
- Fast Brine: It pulls moisture from the air to start forming brine right away.
- Pellet Shape: Round pellets roll into cracks and melt downward instead of spreading sideways.
- Resealable Pail: Keeps moisture-hungry pellets dry and free flowing between storms.

How It Works
Calcium chloride is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts water, and exothermic, meaning it releases heat as it dissolves. Together those properties let it create melting brine faster and at much lower temperatures than rock salt, which is why it is widely used on commercial entrances, ramps and steps where ice cannot be tolerated.

How to Use Calcium Chloride Ice Melt Pellets
- 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.
- Calcium chloride can irritate skin; wear gloves when spreading by hand.
