PELADOW
calcium chloride pellets work fastest and melt more so you can use less.
That’s because PELADOW attracts moisture from its surroundings to
become a deicing brine fast. Plus, calcium chloride gives off heat as it
dissolves to further speed its performance. In fact, PELADOW calcium
chloride pellets melt three to four times more ice than rock salt,
potassium chloride, urea, or blends of these materials in the critical
15-20 minutes after application.
PELADOW
works at lower temperatures.
Don’t be fooled by “theoretical temperature limits.”
Although technically correct, they are usually unrelated to the
deicer’s performance in actual use.
Focus instead on the lowest practical temperature where
significant melting action occurs.
PELADOW remains effective down to –25º F while the others
virtually stop working at +20º F.
PELADOW
works longer. Besides
working faster, at lower temperature, and melting more ice, calcium
chloride concentration provides strong residual action.
Even diluted to a 20% concentration, it’s effective to –4º
F.
PELADOW
leaves no powdery residue.
Calcium chloride won’t evaporate and turn into a powdery
residue that creates additional housekeeping work.
It saves time inside and out.
PELADOW
is proven easiest on plants and concrete.
All deicers (even fertilizers) can damage plants, but the risk is
small when they are applied at recommended rates. Even so, Iowa State
University research finds calcium chloride poses less threat to plants.
When it comes to concrete, remember that most deicers don’t harm
concrete themselves. It’s
the pressure created by freezing water. Independent testes find calcium
chloride poses the least threat to concrete as well.
The
added advantage of pellets. One more thing. Deicers shape is
important. Pellets penetrate ice faster because they bore down rather
than sideways and they have more deicing punch once they reach the
pavement.
