SNO MELT - Instant Ice Melter The Fastest Acting, Longest Working Ice Melter. Hotter Than Ordinary Ice Melters. SNO MELT calcium chloride pellets instantly generate heat on contact with ice and snow to speed the deicing and melting process. SNO MELT works more than five times faster than rock salt and blended ice melters. Longer Lasting. SNO MELT is concentrated to keep working long after others quit. Less Melts More. A little goes a long way. You would need five times more rock salt to do the same job.  Not all Deicers are Created Equal. Performance is determined by: Melting Time Temperature Foot and Vehicle Traffic Shape and Composition of Deicer Particle   Tough on Ice and Snow, Easy on Plants and Concrete. Any deicer may be harmful to vegetation, but when used as directed, SnoMelt will not damage trees, shrubs, flower beds or grass. SNO MELT will not chemically or physically attack concrete. The lower the chloride content, the lower the risk. The application of SNO MELT results in the lowest accumulation of chloride compared to other commercial deicer products.
