CALCIUM CHLORIDE (CaCl2)
- Melts to -25° F
- Is the fastest, most effective ice melt available
- Premium-priced, similar to magnesium chloride, but pound-for-pound, melts twice as much ice
- Comes in pellet or flake form
- Is hygroscopic, drawing moisture from the air and creating heat to accelerate the melting process
- Vegetation, corrosion and concrete performance compares favorably to competing ice-melt materials, including magnesium and potassium chloride.
PELADOWTM Premier Ice-Melt – The Best on Ice
No other ice-melt product works on snow and ice better than PELADOW™ Calcium Chloride Pellets. Comparative performance tests and scientific research prove that it’s the premier choice for ice melt. With its fast melting action and cold-temperature performance, PELADOW™ calcium chloride is easily distinguished from other ice melters because it:
- Contains more than 90 percent calcium chloride, the most effective material for melting ice and snow.
- Melts ice 2 to 13 times faster than other ice-melt materials.
- Absorbs moisture and generates heat to speed melting.
- Penetrates through ice 2 to 14 times faster than competing materials.
- Performs in a wider range of winter temperatures, even extreme cold.
- Provides peace of mind by making steps, walks, driveways and parking lots safer.
- Ensures the same vegetation, corrosion and concrete performance as other ice-melt formulations, including magnesium chloride, potassium chloride and rock salt.
PELADOW™ calcium chloride outperforms other ice formulations in all winter conditions. For example, in the first 20 minutes at 20°F, PELADOW™ pellets melt:
- 2X faster than NaCl
- 3X faster than MgCl2
- 3X faster than Urea
- 7X faster than KCl
- 13X faster than CMA
While competing products stop working at 0°F, PELADOW™ pellets keep working even when the temperature plummets to -25°F, the lowest effective temperature of any ice-melt product.
