Use to activate rock salt to reduce bounce & scatter
Liquid Calcium Chloride has long been recognized as a superior compound for ice control. MCS Mineral Well Brine is a liquid chloride product derived from naturally occurring salt obtained from the Sylvania reservoir – one mile below ground level. It is odorless and has a freeze point of -25° F or lower.
Why Liquid Calcium Chloride is effective:
Reacts with snow and ice upon application with faster melting than rock salt, potassium chloride or magnesium chloride.
Many government agencies and commercial snow and ice removal professionals have endorsed its use as an effective pre-wetting, anti-icing and de-icing agent.
Many rock salt blends are ineffective at temperatures below 20°F. Liquid Calcium Chloride melts ice and snow in temperatures as low as -25°F.
Why provide Liquid Calcium Chloride Ice Control Program?
Improved road and parking lot maintenance service
More effective anti-icing and de-icing with ability to melt snow and ice as temperatures plunge
More environmentally friendly than alternatives – eliminating the scatter and bounce effect of rock salt
Lower overall ice and snow melting costs
When does MCS De-Ice Masters pre-treated salt become effective?
Immediately. You can spray the salt or sand at the time of loading or apply at the tailgate or spinner.
Does MCS De-Ice Master cause more corrosion than rock salt?
No, studies have shown that liquid calcium chloride causes less corrosion than rock salt.
Can MCS De-Ice Master be blended with agricultural byproducts like beet juice or Geomelt or other inhibitor products?
Yes. MCS De-Ice Master is an excellent and effective product that easily blends with other products and does not diminish their performance, making them even more environmentally safe.
At what temperature do various ice and snow melting agents lose effectiveness?
MCS De-Ice Master has the widest effectiveness range, from below freezing to -25°F.
