Straight rock salt leaves behind a chloride brine that soaks into concrete and soil, where freeze-thaw cycles and salt build-up cause scaling, corrosion and stressed plants. Ice Burner Premium is a 3-way blend of sodium chloride, CMA and magnesium chloride that works to -23°C while being gentler on surfaces — the CMA reduces corrosion and helps stop ice from bonding to pavement.
That's why property managers and facility teams choose Ice Burner Premium, a gentler, lower-corrosion ice melter, for walkways, entrances and any surface where pets, plants or concrete matter.
| Property | Rock salt | Ice Burner Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Gentler for nature | — | By design |
| Corrosion | Higher | Lower |
| Green space impact | Higher | Lower |
| Bulk supply | Yes | Yes |
Not every surface needs the same de-icer. Here's how facility and property teams typically match an ice melter to the job before placing a bulk order.
Finished concrete, interlocking pavers and painted walkways call for a lower-corrosion ice melter such as Ice Burner Premium. Older asphalt lots and municipal routes can typically handle a treated or standard-grade formula.
Entrances, walkways and public common areas — including spots pets frequent — benefit from a gentler ice melter. Back-of-house loading areas and vehicle routes suit higher-volume, cost-focused formulas.
Keep a lighter-duty ice melter on hand for shoulder-season frost, and stock up on your heavy-duty formula ahead of severe cold snaps so crews aren't caught short mid-storm.

It's a 3-way blend of sodium chloride, Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) and magnesium chloride. The CMA reduces corrosion and helps stop ice from bonding to the surface. Effective to -23°C, it causes less damage to concrete, asphalt and green space than straight rock salt.
It's formulated to be gentler than straight rock salt, which is why many customers choose it for walkways, parking lots and common areas where pets are present. As with any de-icer, follow the product label and keep pets clear of freshly applied product.

Rock salt (sodium chloride) is a single-ingredient de-icer. Ice melter blends add other ingredients to the salt: calcium or magnesium chloride to keep working at lower temperatures (Ice Burner Treated is calcium chloride treated), and Calcium Magnesium Acetate (in Ice Burner Premium and Landscaper's Choice) to reduce corrosion and damage to concrete, asphalt and green space.
Ice Cutter is a non-tracking ice melter distributed by Alais Ventures, effective to -21°C (-5°F), with a green tint and traction control for busy walkways and entrances. For the coldest snaps, Ice Burner Treated works to -28°C; for sensitive surfaces, Ice Burner Premium is the gentler CMA-enhanced option.
Windsor Safe-T-Salt is an economical, commercial-grade rock salt distributed by Alais Ventures, melting down to -15°C. It's cleaner and whiter than standard rock salt, with less dust and a formula sized to flow freely through commercial spreaders — our most budget-friendly ice melter option.

It's fast acting, non-tracking and easy to apply evenly with its bright green tint — a good fit for landscaped properties and green spaces.
No. New concrete needs a full one-year cure before any ice melter or de-icing salt is applied, or it risks surface damage including scaling and pitting.
