Magnesium Chloride Ice Melt Video

This informational video is a great example of how magnesium chloride ice melt is an effective and environmentally safe option for managing ice and snow in parking lots and driveways.

Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2)

Magnesium chloride is considered by some to the best overall ice melting compound. It is safe to use around plant life and it is less corrosive than other ice melting compounds. Magnesium chloride is a hygroscopic compound meaning it absorbs moisture. This allows the magnesium chloride to dissolve into a brine solution very quickly hence melting ice and snow very quickly. Relatively harmless to plant life, magnesium chloride is an environmentally friendly alternative for melting ice and snow. Magnesium chloride can effectively melt ice and snow in temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius (5F).

  • Works quicker than sodium chloride
  • Less harmful to plant life than both sodium chloride and calcium chloride
  • Less corrosive than sodium chloride
