Product Information

Full details

This Liquid Ice Melt & Preventer from STORM TRADING GROUP is designed for anyone needing an effective solution for icy conditions, acting as both a de-icer and a preventative measure. Its key benefit is its ability to prevent ice bonding to surfaces and melt existing ice rapidly, even in sub-zero temperatures. A caveat to note is that it is not recommended for direct application on motor vehicles. This liquid formula offers a modern alternative to traditional rock salt and grit, providing up to 48 hours of protection.

What is the lowest temperature this product works at?

How quickly does it melt ice?

Can I use this product indoors?

This product is designed for outdoor use on hard surfaces. It is not intended for indoor applications.

Is this product better than rock salt?

It is formulated as an alternative to traditional rock salt and grit, offering a liquid application that prevents ice bonding and melts ice rapidly, potentially reducing the mess and environmental impact associated with granular salts.

How should I store the product?

Store the 5L container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed.

Troubleshooting

Product not melting ice effectively.

Ensure the product is applied at the correct temperature (down to -15°C). Verify that the correct amount of product was applied and that it has had sufficient time to work. Heavy snowfall or thick ice layers may require a second application.

Ice is still bonding to surfaces.

This is likely due to application after ice has already begun to form or bond. For preventative action, apply the liquid *before* freezing conditions are expected to prevent bonding.

Residue left on surfaces.

While designed to be a cleaner alternative, some minor residue may occur. Sweep or rinse the area after the ice has melted and the surface is clear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Melts ice and snow quickly and efficiently.
  • Provides both preventative and active de-icing capabilities.
  • Works effectively at very low temperatures (-15°C).
  • Offers extended protection for up to 48 hours.
  • Prevents ice from bonding to a variety of surfaces.
  • A modern alternative to messy rock salt and grit.

Cons

  • Not recommended for direct application on motor vehicles.
  • Requires application before ice forms for pre-icing benefits.
  • Liquid form may require reapplication after heavy precipitation or traffic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application:

  1. Pre-Icing: Apply the liquid evenly to dry surfaces *before* ice or snow is expected. This prevents ice from bonding.
  2. De-Icing: Apply directly to existing ice and snow. The product will begin to melt the ice upon contact.

Compatibility:

This product is designed for use on most common outdoor surfaces including concrete, asphalt, wood, and stone. It is formulated to prevent ice from bonding to glass and metal. However, it is not recommended for use directly on motor vehicles, as prolonged or direct contact may affect vehicle finishes. Always test in an inconspicuous area if unsure.

Care:

Store the 5L container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation or contamination. After use, clean application equipment (if any) according to manufacturer instructions. The product is stable and does not require special maintenance for the container itself.
