Why Colored Ice Melt Pail?

Why the Color Matters

Plain white de-icer disappears the moment it lands on snow, which is how people end up spreading two or three times what they need on one strip and nothing at all on the next. Colored granules show you your own coverage.

Why the Color Matters

Plain white de-icer disappears the moment it lands on snow, which is how people end up spreading two or three times what they need on one strip and nothing at all on the next. Colored granules show you your own coverage. The colored granules help you apply evenly and avoid overuse.

  • You can see your coverage, which prevents both overuse and missed patches.
  • Effective to -25 F, so it keeps working through the nights that matter.
  • Medium granule, engineered to penetrate the ice layer rather than blow off or dissolve on top.
  • Resealable pail, easy to carry and scoop from all season.

Pail Sizes

8 lb Steps, entryways and the front walk.
20 lb A typical home walkway and driveway apron.
45 lb The season supply for a full driveway or a small commercial frontage.

The Colors

All six colors are stocked in all three pail sizes, so pick the color you want and the size that matches the area you clear.

Pink The most visible against fresh snow.
Green Strong contrast on snow without reading as bright.
Blue The most common choice for commercial frontages.
White The discreet option, for entrances where a colored granule would look out of place.
Orange High visibility in low light and at dusk.
Purple The most distinctive of the six.

A Note on the White

White is the one color in this range that does not help you see your coverage, and that is the point of it. Some customers want the melting performance without colored granules tracking onto a light stone entrance, a pool deck or an interior mat. If seeing your spread pattern matters more than discretion, pick one of the other five.
