Proven safe when applied as directed to quality concrete surfaces melt exhibits the following properties.
Calcium chloride ice melt safe concrete.

Melts down to 25 f.
This heat quickly melts the ice and snow thus turning it into water.
The dissolving process is exothermic and generates heat of up to 60 degrees celsius.
Remarkable results professional strength melt is a unique formulation of calcium chloride pellets that accelerates the melting process by generating a large amount of heat on contact with snow and ice.
Another good de icer is cma or calcium magnesium acetate which doesn t wash away as easily as the others and has a lower environmental impact.
This is a hygroscopic compound.
Melt professional strength calcium chloride pellets effectively melt ice and snow on contact even at temperatures as low as 25 f.
Good ice melt choices for concrete are calcium chloride and magnesium chloride.
So it absorbs water and then generates heat as it dissolves up to 140 f.
Melt is designed to quickly safely and effectively tackle frozen snow sleet and ice on most driveways steps sidewalks and entryways.
While potassium chloride is good for the environment it damages the concrete and typically costs 3 5 times more.
