Why Magnesium Chloride Flakes?
Why Flake Form Works Faster
A flake presents far more surface area to the ice than a round pellet of the same weight. That means it draws moisture and starts the melt almost immediately rather than sitting there for several minutes first.

Why Flake Form Works Faster
A flake presents far more surface area to the ice than a round pellet of the same weight. That means it draws moisture and starts the melt almost immediately rather than sitting there for several minutes first. The trade off is that flakes work through a little quicker, so you reapply more often in a long storm.
