READY WHEN NATURE STRIKES. GUARANTEED.

Blended products have become a staple in the market as a cost effective alternative to the higher priced low chloride products. We have created the ideal blend in ProMelt™ Slicer Extreme as it contains a high percentage of magnesium chloride pellet which will provide you with the added value benefits of an environmentally friendlier ice melter without the added costs. One such benefit would be a significant increase in melting performance versus straight salt. As you can see from the chart on the left, magnesium & calcium chlorides have a far larger melting capability than sodium chloride.

Atmospheric relative humidity dictates any given chlorides performance capabilities in extreme weather conditions. By adding magnesium chloride pellet to our complex chloride crystals, we ensure that ProMelt™ Slicer Extreme performs at a relative humidity level where straight salt alone is no longer effective.

The percentage of chloride content in magnesium chloride is significantly lower than all other chlorides on the market. ProMelt™ Slicer Extreme helps to reduce the chlorides emitted into the environment not only by the percentage reduction, but by reducing the application rate as well.

Product Application

For application in general conditions, evenly sprinkle ¼ to 1/3 cup (57 to 76 grams) of ProMelt™ Slicer Extreme per square yard (metre) for driveways and walkways. Melting begins immediately and melting action will continue longer than many other commonly used de-icers. Shovel off slush. Thick accumulations of ice may require additional applications.

Magnesium Chloride Flake

Mag Flake is a high performance ice melter that is safer for people, pets, concrete and the environment. It begins melting snow and ice on roads and driveways immediately upon application! Mag Flake keeps melting down to -25°C! It combines Performance and Safety better than all other deicers.

Features and Benefits

• Safer around vegetation. When used as directed, MgCl is safer to use around plants and bushes. In fact, MgCl is used as an ingredient in crop fertilizers and soil amendments.
• Safer for use around animals and humans. MgCl is much less toxic than calcium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium chloride based on data provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
• Less Chlorides Discharge. Pound for Pound, MgCl contains less chlorides than other commonly used deicers while remaining a powerful ice melter! The use of MgCl results in less chloride run-off and eliminates the unsightly white residue build-up on surfaces… inside and out!
• Safer on concrete. Tests by SHRP, Washington D.C., using 3% solutions (representative dilution of ice melting brines) show that calcium chloride and salt increase concrete spalling by 26X and 63X respectively.
• Less corrosion to metal surfaces. Tests show MgCl is less corrosive than calcium chloride and sodium chloride on steel, tin and aluminum.
• Less irritating to the skin. MgCl, unlike calcium chloride, is not noticeably exothermic (generates heat) when it first comes in contact with moisture… reducing skin irritation.

Mag Flake is less corrosive than calcium chloride and sodium chloride on steel and aluminum. It melts quickly and without heavy and harsh residue from over-applied salt!
