| Highly Exothermic |
Melts/Penetrates ice faster than urea |
Mildly Exothermic |
| Spherical Shape |
Even spread pattern, handles like urea |
Angular Shape |
| Biodegrades Faster Than Urea |
NAAC has a low environmental impact |
Slower Biodegredation than NAAC |
| Costs More than Urea |
Application is less, which gives overall economical benefit: also consider environmental damage costs from urea |
Costs More than Urea |
| Effect on Concrete Similar to Urea |
Intended for use on high quality, air-entrained concrete |
Effect on Concrete Similar to Road Salt |
| Produced in the USA |
|
Produced in Canada |
| Effective up to 20°F Lower than Urea |
Low temperature melting is achieved |
Similar to NAAC |
| 1/4 to 1/3 Lower Application than Urea |
Less material is required to achieve the same deicing objective |
Similar to NAAC |
| Hygroscopic |
Goes into solution quickly – works fast |
