what is snow melting agent?
Snow melt agent is a chemical that can reduce the melting temperature of snow and ice. Mainly used for Snow removal in winter on roads, airports, urban streets and road freezing prevention.
Type of snow melting agent
The snow melting agent can be divided into three kinds: inorganic snow melting agent of chlorine salt and organic snow melting agent of non-chlorine salt,environmental protection snow melting agent
Chlorine salts snow melting agents include sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and so on.
Advantage:The price is low and the range of application is wide,
Disadvantage: its harm to the environment is serious, which results in the injury of road and bridge, and shortens the service life of road and bridge.
The main components of organic snow melting agent are sodium acetate, magnesium acetate, calcium acetate and so on.
Advantage :The snow melting agent has good deicing effect, is helpful to the growth of surrounding plants, has no harm to roads and bridges, and has no damage to the environment.
Disadvantage :The price is too high, generally used in airports and other important places.
Environmental snow melting agent :Sodium Formate granular
Consider above two kinds snow melting agent’s disadvantage,HOO CHEMTEC developed a harmless and efficient environmental protection snow melting agent.
Its made of compound processing with sodium formate and high efficiency corrosion inhibitor. It has the characteristics of good fluidity, low impurity content, fast snow melting speed, good thawing effect, low environmental pollution, low corrosiveness, wide application and good economy.
On the basis of low price, it can ensure its snowmelt ability and control the corrosion of roads and bridges.
Snow and ice-covered pavements threaten highway traffic safety in the winter. The use of snow-melting agents is one of the most significant means to rapidly remove ice and snow on road. HOO CHEMTEC provide various snow melting agent to keep your traffic safety.
