Depending on storm conditions, Ice Slicer typically requires 40-100% less product than white salt. Introducing fewer chlorides, Ice Slicer reduces environmental concerns.
Ice Slicer is 100% all natural, dye-free and kid-safe. In fact, our deicer comes from the same deposit where Real Salt food-grade salt is mined.
Ice Slicer contains 1/60 the alkali content found in evaporated white salt. Better yet, Ice Slicer's unique mineral composition acts as an environmental buffer, which significantly decreases its alkalinity.
Ice Slicer is less harmful to aquatic life than white salt because it doesn't contribute to biological oxygen demand and sedimentation loading in streams.
Ice Slicer creates natural traction that other granular deicers cannot provide. Minimize or eliminate sand usage and decrease sediment loading problems in sensitive areas.
Ice Slicer has fewer particulates than white salt and sand. This equates to less air quality issues in PM-10 and PM 2.5 areas.
UDOT used Ice Slicer just south of Levan, Utah, along Highway 28. After winter faded and vegetation started to return, the vegetation along the roadway came back lusher and greener than the surrounding plants.
When used in the correct concentration, which takes a less-is-more approach, Ice Slicer runoff will benefit roadside vegetation.
World-renowned Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah attracts millions of visitors every year. Deicer is essential to keep pathways safe for high volume of foot traffic, but groundskeepers also need to preserve the expansive gardens. Before Ice Slicer, Temple Square replaced 9 pallets worth of grass and about 1/3 of their plants due to deicer damage. After switching to Ice Slicer, they reported that no grass and only a few plants needed to be replaced after their winter season.
Ice Slicer is a powerful and all-natural alternative to the more destructive deicers and salts on the market. Depending on storm conditions, Ice Slicer typically requires 40-100% less salt than white salt. By introducing far less chlorides, Ice Slicer, greatly reduces environmental concerns that would occur from other melting agents.
Ice Slicer is 100% all natural — so it’s dye-free and kid-safe. In fact, our deicer comes from the same deposit where we gather our food-grade salt (which happens to be the best-selling brand of sea salt in America’s health food stores). Now that’s something you can feel good about!
Ice Slicer contains 1/60 the alkali content found in lake salt. Better yet, Ice Slicer’s unique mineral composition acts as an environmental buffer, which significantly decreases its alkalinity compared to white salt.
Ice Slicer is less harmful to aquatic life than white salt because it doesn’t contribute to biological oxygen demand. Additionally, Ice Slicer is an eco-friendly solution that naturally adds grit to the road without having to use sand or other aggregates. These aggregates can contribute to sedimentation loading in streams which can be harmful to aquatic life.
Ice Slicer creates natural traction that other granular deicers cannot provide. The benefit is that sand usage is minimized and even deleted in many instances, decreasing sediment-loading problems in sensitive areas.
Ice Slicer has fewer particulates than white salt and sand. This equates to less air quality issues in PM-10 and PM-2.5 areas. This picture shows a road covered in sand just outside of Gillette, WY. The use of aggregates (like sand) can create many air quality concerns.
