Dead Sea Magnesium Chloride Ice Melt 50 lb Bag, Naturally Pet Friendly
Why Magnesium Chloride Sits In The Middle
There is a clear hierarchy in de-icer chemistry. Sodium chloride is cheapest and harshest. Calcium chloride is the strongest and works coldest. Magnesium chloride sits between them: it works colder than rock salt, it is markedly gentler on paws, concrete and planting, and it costs less than the acetate products.
- Naturally pet friendly. The gentleness is inherent to magnesium chloride rather than added afterward.
- Effective to -15 F. Genuine cold weather capability, well past where rock salt stalls.
- Pellets or flake. Pellets bore down through ice, flake starts working faster.
- Gentler on concrete and vegetation than sodium or calcium chloride.
