Calcium Chloride is best known for being an ice melt product, capable of protecting your ground surface from dangerous ice build-up during the winter months. It is a hygroscopic salt, meaning it can lower the freezing point of water, and thus reduce ice production. Calcium Chloride is available in both pellet and flake form, with both being an effective method of ice prevention. Round Calcium Chloride pellets are mobile upon application, allowing them to be spread far and into tight corners for an easier application process in large parking lots or irregular parking garages. The most popular type of Calcium Chloride pellets is Peladow. These pellets contain 90% Calcium Chloride, meaning they are the most effective product at minimizing ice build-up compared to other competitors. The hard, flat shape of Calcium Chloride flakes makes them adhere to the ground surface upon application, which allows for more precise treatment. Flakes need to be applied directly to the area you would like to treat, as they are not easily mobile, to prevent product waste. The most popular type of Calcium Chloride flakes is Dowflake, and they contain between 83-87% Calcium Chloride, allowing them to still be a very effective option against ice. Both flakes and pellets do not damage the pavement or concrete underneath the product, keeping your driveway, road, or other surface protected from unwanted damage.
