De-icing Materials

At American Snow & Ice we utilize our extensive experience with ice and snow melting products to meet the specific needs of our customers. For each application we consider:

• Melting Speed
• Melting Capacity
• Optimum melting temperature
• Impact on asphalt or concrete
• Impact on landscaping
• Impact on environment (animals, humans, plants, water, air, etc...)

 

We then match up the appropriate material to meet your performance criteria for the type of precipitation we face.

Parking Lot & Driving Area Materials

The most popular de-icing material used on parking and driving areas is rock salt. It is a relatively low cost material that possesses excellent melting characteristics

Sidewalk Area Materials

For sidewalk areas of your property, the most recommended product is the Landscapers Choice. It is a specially formulated product minimizing the risk of damaging your landscape, corrosion refreezing or tracking of material into your building while melting snow and ice quickly and maximizing traction.

Pre-Treatment Materials

While any material can be applied to pre-treat an area, liquids are often used because they minimize the amount of residue.
