De-icing Materials

At American Snow & Ice we utilize our extensive experience with ice and snow melting products to meet the specific needs of our customers. For each application we consider:

Melting Speed
Melting Capacity
Optimum melting temperature
Impact on asphalt or concrete
Impact on landscaping
Impact on environment (animals, humans, plants, water, air, etc...)

We then match up the appropriate material to meet your performance criteria for the type of precipitation we face.

Parking Lot & Driving Area Materials

The most popular de-icing material used on parking and driving areas is rock salt. It is a relatively low cost material that possesses excellent melting characteristics

Sidewalk Area Materials

For sidewalk areas of your property, the most recommended product is the Landscapers Choice. It is a specially formulated product minimizing the risk of damaging your landscape, corrosion refreezing or tracking of material into your building while melting snow and ice quickly and maximizing traction.

Pre-Treatment Materials

While any material can be applied to pre-treat an area, liquids are often used because they minimize the amount of residue.
