Melt Away

Melt Away is a unique chemical compound in flake form that melts more ice and snow, works faster, at lower temperatures, for longer periods than rock salt. Three unique properties of Melt Away make it a faster and more powerful ice and snow melting material than rock salt: 1) Melt Away returns to its natural liquid state by drawing water from the atmosphere or from the ice and snow. By attracting this water, Melt Away goes into solution quickly, forming a solution which actually melts the ice and snow.

Rock salt, on the other hand, must come in direct contact with moisture before it will dissolve into solution. Depending on temperature, this action can be very slow; slowing the ice and snow melting process, 2) Melt Away is effective down to -59°F (-51°C) while rock salt is ineffective at 5°F (-15°C). 3) As Melt Away dissolves into an ice and snow melting liquid, it gives off heat. Rock salt, instead, must absorb heat from the surrounding environment which is a slow, difficult job at temperatures below freezing. This means that slippery hazardous conditions remain longer than if you had relied on Melt Away.

Melt Away melts so much more ice and snow at subfreezing temperatures than rock salt that you may be able to reduce your overall budget by using less ice and snow melting material. Melt Away is longer lasting than rock salt since Melt Away tends to stay as a liquid which results in a residual effect that can last for several days. When used according to directions, Melt Away leaves no unsightly, messy residue, and does not harm concrete, shrubs or grass. Melt Away is produced in flake from to cover a greater surface area and to lie flat when applied to incline surfaces.
