2006年12月4日 · Anti-icing is putting down salt before it snows to prevent snow and ice from bonding to the surface. Anti-icing is putting salt on top of snow and ice. It will take more salt to do the job as an anti-icer than a de-icer. But there is the risk that an event will come as rain which will simply melt the salt and be a wasted expense.

2012年12月16日 · Ok so last year we had no snow, so I had about 60 bags of salt left over from a year before that. Now I have 60 hard as rock for the most part bags. I had them stacked on a skid and covered up but still most are ruined. So it struck me that there has to be a way to chop these up so I can use them and not just throw them away and buy more.

2005年12月5日 · You might want to try pelletized lime. Make sure it is dark in color. The lime will absorb heat from the sun and melt ice and snow. It's not as effective as salt or even fertil;izer but it is the most organic way to go and it'll give a little traction. Golf courses use it on their greens when they ice over. Good luck with it.

2018年2月7日 · Snow is an insulator and depending on temperatures once you plow the slush that's under the snow it could instantly freeze creating ice. The only way to deal with it is spreading salt, salt/sand mix or sand depending on what your customer wants or you can provide.

2009年1月21日 · When I use pickled sand, I use 5:1 ratio sand/salt mix and it melts off well in high traffic areas. If you get lots of sun the darker sand also attracts the sun's heat and helps to melt the snow pack underneath the layer of sand/salt. I think most people who request sand/salt mix are not looking for black, wet surfaces they want traction.

2011年2月19日 · Takes 144 BTUs to melt a pound of ice. There's around 135,000 to 140,000 BTUs per gallon of diesel. Some we're talking in the ballpark of 1 gallon of diesel per 1,000# of snow to melt it, if you had darn near perfect efficiency which you won't. Let's assume it's a wet and not fluffy 4", so figure 4# of snow per square foot.

2000年11月8日 · 30%salt 70% sand. Used on light powder snow dustings, and late season applications. 40% salt 60% sand.
