About this item
- Works to -25 F. The practical floor for any granular de-icer.
- Exothermic. Significant heat is released as the pellets dissolve, which speeds up the melt.
- Round pellet shape. OxyChem specifically make it round because pellets bore down through ice and break the bond with the pavement faster than flat or crystal shaped melters.
- Up to three times faster. Across a wide temperature range, not just in the cold.
- Meets ASTM D98 and AASHTO M144. Type S, Grade 2, Class B calcium chloride.

Why Peladow Premier Calcium Chloride Pellets Ice Melt?
Why Calcium Chloride Beats Rock Salt In Real Cold
Plain rock salt stops doing useful work around 15 to 20 F. Below that it is just grit.

Why Calcium Chloride Beats Rock Salt In Real Cold
Plain rock salt stops doing useful work around 15 to 20 F. Below that it is just grit. Calcium chloride works two ways instead: it drops the freezing point far lower, and dissolving it actually releases heat, so it attacks the ice from underneath rather than waiting for sun.

Application Rate
Calcium chloride goes further than rock salt, so over applying is both wasteful and harder on surfaces. Spread thin and let it work.
| Rate | 28 lb per 1,000 sq ft |
| Equivalent | 4 oz per square yard |
| Coverage per 50 lb bag | About 1,800 sq ft at the recommended rate |
| Form | White free flowing round pellets |
Surface Guidance, Straight From OxyChem
- Concrete at least one year old. Safe when applied properly. New concrete has not cured enough for any de-icer.
- Composite decking and grass. Safe when properly applied.
- Not recommended on wood. Decking boards, steps and thresholds.
- Not recommended on masonry or stone. Which matters on a hardscape patio, so read this before you salt a bluestone walkway.

Choosing Between Our Ice Melts
If the forecast is genuinely cold, calcium chloride is the answer and Peladow is the benchmark. If you need something gentler around pets, planting or natural stone, look at our magnesium chloride and CMA blended products instead. They do not go as cold, and that is the trade.
