Where It Works Best

Everyday winter weather at homes and businesses that want a straightforward, economical deicer.

Where Not to Use It

  • Concrete less than one year old
  • Cracked, spalled or poorly sealed concrete
  • Lawns, garden beds and plantings
  • Deep cold below roughly 15°F; choose calcium or magnesium chloride instead

How to Use Halite Crystals Ice Melt Pail

  1. Shovel or plow loose snow first so the melter can reach the ice underneath.
  2. 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.
  3. Give it a few minutes to break the bond between the ice and the pavement, then shovel away the loosened slush.
  4. Before a storm, pre-treat walkways and steps with a light application to help keep ice from bonding.
  5. Sweep up leftover granules once surfaces are dry so they are not tracked indoors.
  6. Keep the lid tightly closed between uses. Ice melters pull moisture from the air and can clump if left open.

Good to Know

Rock salt can harm grass, plants and young concrete, so sweep up excess and keep it off lawns and garden beds.

What is halite?
Halite is the mineral name for natural rock salt (sodium chloride). These crystals are screened to a consistent size for even melting.
What temperature does rock salt stop working?
Rock salt 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.
Is rock salt bad for concrete?
Rock salt can harm young concrete, so never use it on concrete less than one year old or on concrete that is cracked, spalled or poorly sealed. On sound concrete, use a thin, even layer and sweep up the excess.
Will rock salt kill my grass?
Rock salt can harm grass and plants. Keep it off lawns and garden beds, and sweep up any excess once the pavement is clear.
