Why a treated salt beats plain rock salt
Plain rock salt is cheap, but it slows down around 15 F and it is hard on concrete, brick pavers, plantings, metal railings and paws. Sugar Mag treats the salt with natural corn steeps, which takes the working temperature below zero and makes it less corrosive, while the pink colorant keeps you from over spreading. It is the natural choice for homes with dogs and cats, paver patios and walkways, and landscaped beds along the path.
- Effective below 0 F. Manufacturer figure, Chemical Equipment Labs.
- Formulation. Treated salt ice melt made with all natural ingredients including corn steeps, per the maker.
- Less corrosive. The maker describes it as less corrosive than rock salt and less damaging to vegetation.
- Safer for pets. The maker's own wording; still wipe paws after walks, as with any deicer.
- Pink color. Thin, even coverage is easy to see, so a bag goes further.
- Made by Chemical Equipment Labs. A regional ice melt maker in Delaware; Peach Country Tractor is a stocking dealer.
Best for
- Driveways, walkways and front steps at homes with pets
- Concrete, brick and paver surfaces where plain rock salt is too harsh
- Lawn edges and foundation plantings along the path, where a gentler deicer helps
- A full season for one house, or a few applications on a larger lot
Good to know
- Clear loose snow first, then spread a light, even layer; a treated salt works harder than rock salt, so you need less of it.
- Keep the bag closed and dry between storms and store it out of reach of pets and children.
- Need a smaller bag? Paw Protector comes in 20 lb. Need deep-freeze performance? Snow Shield Pink melts down to -25 F.
