Why Green Seal CMA Ice Melt Pail?

Why CMA Instead of Rock Salt

Rock salt melts by brute force, driving the freezing point down and taking the surface with it over enough seasons. CMA is an acetate rather than a chloride, and it works partly by stopping ice particles from bonding to each other and to the pavement.

Description

Green Seal, the CMA Pail You Can See on Snow
Green Seal is calcium magnesium acetate ice melt in a resealable pail, with green granules you can actually see on snow. CMA is the de-icer to reach for when the surface, the planting beds or the dog matter more than raw melting power. Three pail sizes.

Why CMA Instead of Rock Salt

Rock salt melts by brute force, driving the freezing point down and taking the surface with it over enough seasons. CMA is an acetate rather than a chloride, and it works partly by stopping ice particles from bonding to each other and to the pavement. That gentler mechanism is why it costs more per pound and why it is the product to use where damage matters.

  • Works in extreme cold. Dependable ice and snow control down to -20 F.
  • Pet friendlier formula. Designed to reduce irritation to paws compared with traditional rock salt when used as directed.
  • Kinder to concrete. Suitable for properly cured concrete, asphalt, pavers and masonry at least 12 months old.
  • High visibility green granules. The color shows you where you have already spread, which prevents both overuse and missed patches.
  • Resealable pail. Keeps the product dry and scoopable across the whole season.

Choosing Your Pail Size

8 lb Steps, entryways and small walks. The size to start with if you have not used CMA before.
20 lb A typical home walkway and driveway apron.
45 lb The season supply for a full driveway or a small commercial frontage.

The Rest of the Range

We carry this CMA line in three colors, each named for its own animal. Pink Penguin is the pink pail in 8, 20 and 45 lb, and Blue Arctic Fox is the blue pail in the same three sizes, rated a little colder at -25 F. All three share the same acetate chemistry, so pick on size and on which color you would rather see against the snow.

How to Apply

  • Clear loose snow first so the product reaches the bonded ice underneath.
  • Spread thinly and evenly. The color makes it easy to see your coverage, so use it.
  • Reapply as the color fades rather than laying it on heavily up front.
  • Keep it off concrete less than 12 months old, whatever the de-icer.
