Understanding Ice Melters
An ice melter is a product designed to tackle one of winter’s most significant challenges: ice accumulation. Its primary function is to lower the freezing point of water, thus causing ice and snow to melt more quickly. While there are various types of ice melters available, their effectiveness can vary greatly depending on the temperature and specific environmental conditions.

The Downside of Salt and Chloride-based Ice Melters
Traditionally, many ice melters contain salt (sodium chloride) or other chloride compounds. While effective, these substances pose several risks. Firstly, they can be harmful to the environment, contributing to soil and water pollution. Additionally, chloride-based ice melters can cause corrosion to metal surfaces and damage to concrete, which is particularly concerning for commercial properties where maintaining infrastructure is vital.
Moreover, traditional ice melters can be hazardous to both people and pets. The sharp edges of the granules can be abrasive, and when pets walk on these substances, they can experience discomfort or even injuries to their paws. There’s also a risk of ingestion, which can lead to health issues.

Ice Melt Performance in Different Conditions
The effectiveness of an ice melter like Safe Paw varies depending on weather conditions. In dry, cold environments, it works swiftly to lower the freezing point of water. However, in wetter conditions, the presence of excess moisture can dilute the product, requiring a more generous application for optimal results.
It’s also essential to consider the type of surface being treated. Smooth, non-porous surfaces like sealed concrete may require less product compared to porous surfaces like unsealed concrete or gravel.
