MeltMaxx Ice Melt 8 lb Pail, Calcium Chloride and Rock Salt Blend
Why Blend Rather Than Pick One
Plain rock salt is cheap but loses its grip around 15 to 20 F. Straight calcium chloride works far colder but costs several times as much per pound. Blending the two is the practical middle: enough calcium chloride to carry the product down to -15 F, enough rock salt to keep the price sensible.
- Breaks the bond between ice and pavement, which is what actually makes shoveling easy.
- Works to -15 F, past the point where standard rock salt becomes unreliable.
- Better melting than salt alone from the balanced calcium chloride content.
- Safer on concrete when used as directed on driveways, sidewalks, walkways and steps.
- Resealable bucket that is easy to carry, store and reseal for season long use.

How to Apply
- Shovel the loose snow off first so the product reaches the bonded ice.
- Spread thinly. Calcium chloride blends work faster than salt, so you need less than you think.
- Clear the slush once the bond releases, before it refreezes overnight.
- Keep it off concrete under 12 months old and reseal the pail between storms.
