Hello everybody!

Welcome to Safe Paw, your ultimate resource for all things related to ice melt safety and more. We're excited to have you here and share valuable insights and tips on how to keep your pets, kids, home, and concrete surfaces safe during the winter months.

In today's episode, we are going to talk about 5 Types Of Ice Melt And Their Pros And Cons.

Understanding the differences between various types of ice melt products can make a big difference in how effectively you can reduce the quantity of snow and ice around your structure. Although rock salt is the most widely used and recognized de-icer, there are other formulae and solutions that can be more effective in particular circumstances. 

Here are the five types of ice melt with their pros and cons.

Type 1. Sodium Chloride Or Rock Salt

It’s the most widely used de-icing agent. Even though it melts the ice, it is harmful to physical structures, materials, and ecosystems.

It is not ideal for concrete that is less than a year old. It can damage your masonry and corrode the metal of vehicles and railings. Even small amounts of sodium chloride can seep into neighbouring soil, altering its composition and causing harm to grass and plants. It is also toxic to pets and can cause severe problems if ingested by them.

Type 2. Amide Core With Glycol

A modified crystalline amide core interleaved with glycol admixture is one of the most effective ice melts while being safe for people, pets, structure, and the environment.

While breaking surface tension, the liquid component of this ice melt immediately begins melting ice. The crystal core present in the ice melt weakens the sticky snow by penetrating it. It causes the melting process to accelerate. 

It leaves an invisible layer of protection that helps prevent ice from clinging to surfaces for three days. Due to the “Teflon” effect, it makes shovelling simpler.

Safe Paw has the salt-free ingredients of amide core and glycol. As part of the Gaia enterprises, it shares its objective to produce items that uphold its commitment to a sustainable environment. 

Type 3. Calcium Chloride 

It emits heat while melting, allowing it to act more quickly than other de-icers. Like other chloride-based ice melts, it can also corrode metal. It can also destroy carpets and tiles, thus, damaging your internal floorings. It is less disastrous to plants but excessive use can harm them.

The Original and the #1 Kid and Pet Safe Ice melt for over 20 years. Guaranteed environmentally safe – will not harm waterways and sensitive wetlands. Unused ice melt is good for years with an unlimited shelf life. Safe Paw is a patented dual-effect compound. The liquid component starts melting ice instantly while breaking its surface tension. This allows the crystal core to quickly penetrate and destabilize the ice and speed up the melting process. All this while Safe Paw proprietary traction agent provides slip protection. Safe Paw attracts heat to make it even more effective Endothermic reaction takes advantage of a solar effect.
