This concrete deicer is non corrosive and friendly to plant life.
It works much slower than calcium chloride and only melts snow and ice in temperatures down to 12 degrees fahrenheit.
It is safer to use on concrete that contains rebar or wire mesh.
The only safe material to use to make the concrete surface skid resistant is plain sand.
De icers should not be used on new concrete wait until it is at least one year old and it has been treated with a sealer to reduce the amount of salt that can penetrate the surface.
But before i get to the de icers let me talk about a new kid on the block the ice that is simply not slippery eco ice grip.
