Colored Ice Melt Pail, 8, 20 and 45 lb, 6 Colors, to -25 F
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 color fades as the product works, so when it is gone you know the area needs another pass.
- You can see your coverage, which prevents both overuse and missed patches.
- The color fades as it works, giving you a simple visual cue for when to reapply.
- 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.

- Spread thinly and evenly, and let the color tell you where you have been.
- Reapply once the color has faded rather than laying it on heavily up front.
- Keep it off concrete less than 12 months old, whatever the de-icer.
