About MeltMaxx Calcium Chloride and Rock Salt Ice Melt Blend

MeltMaxx takes dependable rock salt and adds calcium chloride to push performance down to -15°F. The result is a hard-working, budget-friendly ice melt blend that breaks the bond between ice and pavement faster than salt alone. It comes in heavy-duty resealable pails that stay dry all season.

Why Customers Choose MeltMaxx Calcium Chloride and Rock Salt Ice Melt Blend

  • Works to -15°F: Calcium chloride keeps the blend active in colder temperatures where standard rock salt stalls.
  • Faster Than Salt Alone: A balanced mix of rock salt and calcium chloride gives quicker, stronger melting than sodium chloride by itself.
  • Breaks the Ice Bond: Loosens ice from the surface so shoveling is easier on your back.
  • For Hard Surfaces: Use on driveways, sidewalks, walkways and steps as directed on the label.
  • Resealable Pail: The heavy-duty bucket is easy to carry, store and reseal for season-long use.

How It Works

Calcium chloride releases heat as it dissolves and pulls moisture from the air, so it starts making brine almost immediately. That early brine jump-starts the rock salt in the blend, which then carries the melting over a wider area at a lower cost per pound.

Where It Works Best

Homeowners and small businesses who want more cold-weather punch than rock salt without paying for a straight calcium chloride product.

Where Not to Use It

  • Concrete less than one year old
  • Cracked, spalled or poorly sealed concrete

How to Use MeltMaxx Calcium Chloride and Rock Salt Ice Melt Blend

  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.

Questions about this product

Ask a question ›
How cold does it work?
It is rated effective to -15°F. Melting slows as temperatures drop, so pre-treat before a storm in deep cold.
What is a blended ice melt?
A blend combines more than one melter. MeltMaxx pairs calcium chloride, which starts brine fast and works colder, with rock salt, which spreads the melting at a lower cost per pound.
Calcium chloride vs rock salt: which is better?
Calcium chloride attracts moisture and releases heat as it dissolves, so it makes brine faster and at much lower temperatures than rock salt. Rock salt is the more economical choice for normal winter weather.
Can I use it on new concrete?
Do not use any deicer on concrete less than one year old, or on concrete that is cracked, spalled or poorly sealed. On sound, cured concrete, apply a thin, even coat and sweep up leftovers.
How much should I use?
Follow the application rate on the package. A thin, even layer works faster and wastes less than a heavy coat.
How do I store it?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place. Ice melters pull moisture from the air and can clump if left open.
What sizes are available?
Size: 8 lb, 20 lb, 45 lb. The price shown is per 8 lb unless you pick another option.
When will it ship?
In-stock orders placed before 2:00 PM Eastern on a business day ship the same day from our Williamstown, New Jersey warehouse. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on holidays ship the next business day. Tracking is emailed as soon as it leaves. The box above the Add to cart button shows the live countdown and an arrival estimate for your ZIP.
Can I buy by the pallet?
Yes. Pallets ship by LTL freight and the rate depends on your delivery address, so we quote it rather than guess. The product price is the same price everyone pays, whether you buy one pail or a pallet; only the freight is quoted. Request a freight quote and we will come back with a delivered price.
Can I pick up at the warehouse?
Yes, by arrangement at our Williamstown, New Jersey warehouse, Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to noon, Eastern. Contact us first so the warehouse can pull your order.
Can I return it?
Unused, unopened product in its original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Opened bags and pails cannot be returned. Read the full return policy.
