The brittle traction granule crushes to dust underfoot or tread so there is less cleanup at the end of a winter season. Reduce slips and fall accidents by providing needed traction in every slippery situation. The 40 lb box is easy to ship and stores neater than plastic bags. Carry slots on the side of the box make it easy to pick up and move. Each box is lined with a plastic bag that contains the coated granular blend preventing spills and leakage.

Buyer Guide De-Icers & Salt Spreaders
If you’re looking for a salt spreader or de-icer, here are a few things you should keep in mind.- Are you spreading salt on a road, on an airfield, in a parking lot, or on a walkway?
- Product Rating. Salt spreaders and de-icers are rated according to how durable they are. A higher-rated product will be more durable.
- Capacity. How much salt are you spreading? A single-cell de-icer is 4.2 lbs., whereas a 6-cell de-icer is 26 lbs.
- Weight. Weight is mostly related to portability and ease of use. If portability isn’t an issue, most salt spreaders and de-icers will be light enough to carry.
- Salt Type Required. The salt type required varies by application. If you’re spreading salt on a road, you should be using rock salt. If you’re spreading salt on an airfield, you should be using regular salt. If you’re spreading salt on a parking lot, you should be using fine-grade salt.
How to choose De-Icers & Salt Spreaders
When the weather turns cold, it’s important to make sure that your car is winter-ready. For many, this means stocking up on snow-melting salt spreaders, de-icer fluid, and a scraper.Salt spreaders and de-icer fluid are two of the most essential winter car products. When shopping for these products, it’s important to do your research. Salt spreaders and de-icer fluid come in a variety of forms, including granules, liquid, and sprays.
Sprinkle salt on icy patches. If you’re dealing with icy patches, sprinkle salt on the shortest route that a car would take to travel, according to Consumer Reports. Using salt as a de-icer will help keep the ice from accumulating longer.
Remove snow. After you’ve sprinkled salt on icy patches, it’s important to remove snow that has accumulated on your car’s roof, windows, and doors. Consumer Reports recommends using a scraper or snow brush to do this.
Use liquid or spray de-icer. De-icer fluid comes in liquid or spray form, according to Consumer Reports. Spread liquid de-icer fluid on icy patches (it has a lower freezing point than snow so that it won’t melt the ice). Spray de-icer on snow.
Apply ice-melting spray. Apply ice-melting spray to snow-covered areas. The spray melts the snow and keeps it from accumulating.
Clean salt spreader. After you’ve used salt spreaders and de-icer fluid, it’s important to clean them to avoid corrosion. Consumer Reports recommends using brake cleaner.
