Why the blend matters in a deep freeze
Rock salt slows down around 15 F; calcium chloride works colder but chews up metal and concrete. Snow Shield Pink pairs magnesium chloride with sodium chloride and CMA so it keeps melting at -25 F while greatly reducing the metal corrosion you get from straight rock salt or calcium chloride. Its consistent, medium sized granules punch through the ice layer and dissolve into brine with less wasted material and no wasted time, per the maker.
- Melts down to -25 F. Manufacturer figure, printed on the bag.
- Formulation. Magnesium chloride, agricultural based corrosion inhibitors, sodium chloride, enhanced with CMA.
- Granule size. Consistent medium granules that penetrate the ice surface and maximize ice separation, per the maker.
- Less corrosive. Greatly reduces the metal corrosion common with straight rock salt or calcium chloride, per the maker.
- Safer for surfaces. The maker calls it safer for concrete, brick pavers and landscaping.
- Maker's wording. Safer for kids, pets and our earth, printed on the bag by Chemical Equipment Labs.
Best for
- Driveways, parking areas and long walks that need a true low temperature melt
- Paver, brick and concrete surfaces where straight rock salt is too corrosive
- Homes with pets that still need real melting power in a deep freeze
- Property managers and snow contractors buying by the pallet
Good to know
- Clear loose snow first, then spread a light, even layer; the blend 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.
- Sugar Mag is the natural corn treated option; Paw Protector is the 20 lb bag; Snow Shield Rock Salt is the economy bag.
