Sodium Formate granular Deicing Non Chloride Snow-melting Agent: Advantages in Snow Removal Applications
Product Description:
A snow-melting agent, often called a de-icer or anti-icer, is a chemical substance or mixture used to melt and remove snow and ice from surfaces like roads, walkways, and airport runways. These agents are essential for winter maintenance and safety, as they prevent ice formation or break up existing ice.
Features:

Applications:
Excellent Environmental Performance
High biodegradability, causing far less pollution to soil, vegetation, and water bodies compared to traditional chloride-based deicing agents (e.g., sodium chloride, calcium chloride).
Chloride-free, it does not cause soil salinization or long-term pollution to groundwater, meeting the requirements of regions with strict environmental regulations (e.g., the EU, North America).
Low Corrosiveness to Infrastructure
The corrosion rate to reinforced concrete, metal bridges, and road surfaces is only 1/5 to 1/10 of that of chloride-based deicing agents, significantly extending the service life of infrastructure and reducing maintenance costs.
Particularly suitable for deicing roads around historical buildings and cultural relic protection areas.
Strong Low-Temperature Deicing Capacity
Its own freezing point is approximately -18°C, enabling it to handle snowfall in most cold regions when used alone. When compounded with other deicing agents, it can adapt to extreme low temperatures below -30°C, expanding its application range.
High Safety
Low irritation to human skin, reducing health risks for sanitation workers during operation.
Less corrosive to vehicle tires and undercarriages, lowering vehicle maintenance costs for owners.
Wide Applicability
Can be directly spread or sprayed as a solution, offering flexible operation.
Suitable for various road surfaces (asphalt, concrete, stone slabs, etc.) and does not cause discoloration of road surfaces, unlike some deicing agents.

FAQ:
Q: What is a snow-melting agent?
A: A snow-melting agent is a chemical substance used to lower the freezing point of water, helping to melt snow and ice on roads, sidewalks, and driveways.
Q: What is the cost comparison between different snow-melting agents?
A: Sodium chloride is generally the least expensive, while eco-friendly alternatives like CMA can be more costly but may offer environmental benefits.
Q: How do weather conditions affect the performance of snow-melting agents?
A: Wind, humidity, and temperature can influence how quickly and effectively these agents work. For example, high winds can blow away granules before they dissolve.
Q: What is the best time to apply snow-melting agents?
A: It is best to apply them before or during snowfall to prevent ice from bonding to surfaces.
Q: How can homeowners minimize the environmental impact of snow-melting agents?
A: Homeowners can use eco-friendly alternatives, apply agents sparingly, and combine them with sand for traction.
Q: How do snow-melting agents affect road safety?
A: Proper use of snow-melting agents improves road safety by reducing ice formation and enhancing traction for vehicles.
Q: What are the most common types of snow-melting agents?
A: Common types include sodium chloride (rock salt), calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and potassium chloride.
Q: How should snow-melting agents be applied?
A: They can be spread evenly over snow and ice using a shovel, spreader, or by hand, depending on the area to be treated.
