As the name implies, snow melting agent is used to melt snow and ice, instead of salt, it is mainly used as snow and ice removal for urban roads, highways, airports, ports, bridges and other facilities. Some snow melting agents can also be used as rapid melting of ice and snow during winter construction in construction projects. Additives and antifreeze additives. Snow melting agent cannot damage roads, concrete components, bridge facilities, or damage flowers, plants, trees, crops, animals, and people.
Types of snow melting agent
One type is an organic snow melting agent with potassium acetate as the main component. This type of snow melting agent has good snow melting effect and basically no corrosion damage, but its price is too high, and it is generally used in important places such as airports.
The other type is inorganic snow melting agents with "chloride salt" as the main component, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, etc., commonly known as "deicing salt". The advantage is that the price is cheap, only equivalent to 1/10 of the organic snowmelting agent, but its corrosion to large-scale public infrastructure is very serious. Our common snow melting agents belong to this category, and the most used are chloride salts containing impurities (ie industrial salts).
