GRANULAR PRODUCTS
Granular deicers are used to break the bond of snow and ice from roadways, walkways, driveways, and parking lots. They outperform straight salt at all temperatures by creating better traction and reducing corrosion, while eliminating the need for sand.
Kick Ice Pro
Liquid-Infused Ice Melt
Our best selling granular deicer! A specially formulated blend with each grain coated in an enhanced deicing agent, which further improves its melting capability. 100% “screened to medium coarseness”.
Calcium Chloride
Calcium chloride maintains ice melting power down to -25°F, actually generating heat as it dissolves to form ice melting brine. On contact with ice, calcium chloride forms brine rapidly, which lowers the freezing point of water and melts snow and ice quickly.

USING GRANULARS FOR DEICING
Calcium Chloride
Calcium chloride works at much lower temperatures (down to -20° F) and is less toxic than sodium chloride. One advantage of calcium chloride is that it attracts water and creates heat, which means it will actively dissolve ice rather than sitting on top of the ice.
Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium chloride has similar qualities as calcium chloride, but works down to about 5° F.
Deicing Tips
- Go Easy: Use the minimum amount of deicer or anti-icer needed. Remember that it’s only supposed to break the bond to make shoveling easier; it’s not supposed to melt it all.
- Sprinkle Early: The sooner you can apply an ice removal product, the better. Head out right as the snow or ice starts, and sprinkle a thin layer on sidewalks and steps to prevent a sticky buildup.
- Check Effectiveness: You should see the ice begin to melt within 15-30 minutes. If it isn’t melting, the temperature may be too low for your product.
- Pellets vs. liquid: Pellets or crystals are best for applying on top of ice, so they can melt their way straight down. Liquids are best applied as preventative measures. Deicing flakes are less effective.
