Except in very light snow, minerals or chemicals should never be

used in place of snow plowing. However, in combination with

trained personnel and equipment, minerals or chemicals play an

important part in controlling ice and snow. Whenever possible,

apply minerals or chemicals before a snowfall. You'll use less,

and it will be less damaging for the environment. You may have

to increase the use of minerals or chemicals at night and as

temperatures fall.

Experts agree that the use of chemical mixture of two parts

mixed chemicals (1:3 calcium chloride to salt, by weight) mixed

with one part abrasive (cinder, sand or slag) is more effective

than rock salt alone in melting snow and ice below 30°F. One

hundred fifty pounds of such mixture with abrasives will treat a

50,000 sq.ft. surface.

It is imperative to treat priority areas such as hills, heavy traffic

areas, bridges and intersections first, especially where snow may

compact and adhere to the road surface, causing icy road

conditions. When slush begins to stiffen and refreeze, it will be

necessary to plow again and reapply chemicals.
