De-icing products & salting

We are equipped with many products for snow removal in Vancouver. Here are listed two:

1. Calcium chloride
2. Raod salts

Dry calcium chloride (CaCl) requires special handling and is more costly than salt. However it is effective at temperatures below 0o F and is fast-acting. CaCl actually gives off heat when it dissolves into brine--a very beneficial characteristic. It also draws moisture from the air, providing water for initial brine formation. These unique properties make it valuable in severe conditions.

CaCl is usually stored in moisture proof bags until needed. Otherwise its ability to draw moisture can cause it to cake and form into large chunks.

A mixture of calcium chloride and road salt can be very effective. Even a small amount of calcium chloride will start melting at low temperatures. The resulting brine and heat allow the salt to start working. The graph [above] shows how well a mixture (three parts salt to one part calcium chloride) works at lower temperatures.

Please see our snow removal page for more information.
