Flakes, Not Pellets, and They Start on Contact
Magnesium chloride in flake form, which gives more surface area than a pellet and starts melting the moment it lands. Fast acting to -15 F, low residue, and markedly less harsh than rock salt on paws, planting and concrete.

Why Flake Form Works Faster
A flake presents far more surface area to the ice than a round pellet of the same weight. That means it draws moisture and starts the melt almost immediately rather than sitting there for several minutes first. The trade off is that flakes work through a little quicker, so you reapply more often in a long storm.
- Starts working immediately on contact, even in extreme cold down to -15 F.
- Gentler than rock salt on pets and plants. It will not burn paws or scorch landscaping the way coarse salt does.
- Concrete friendly. Formulated to reduce surface damage and spalling on concrete and pavers.
- Low residue. Far less white powder tracked indoors or left to sweep up in spring.
- Biodegradable and lower impact on the vegetation around the area you treat.

How to Apply
- Clear loose snow so the flakes reach the bonded ice underneath.
- Spread thinly. Flakes act fast, so a heavy layer is wasted product.
- Expect to reapply through a long storm, which is the trade for the speed.
- Reseal the pail. Magnesium chloride draws moisture from the air and will cake if left open.
