Liquid Anti-Icing On Paved Roads

To ensure that customers receive a quality consistent product, Pollard uses calcium chloride produced by Oxy (Occidental Chemical Corporation).  Oxy's Calcium Chloride is shipped as concentrated 35-42% liquid solution, and diluted to suitable strength at distribution points to meet seasonal customer requirements.

29% Calcium Chloride has a eutectic (Freeze Point) of -47C (-53 F) for trouble free handling and performance in cold climates.

With a eutectic (Freezing Point) Below -31 C (-24 F) the Mastermelt blend offers snow and ice control at temperatures where straight sodium brine would be impossible to handle.

Anti-icing can be applied at speeds between 49 and 80 km/hr (25 to 50 mph) thereby avoiding traffic congestion during the application process.

As application rates and product solutions will vary with road conditions, surface temperatures, air temperatures and precipitation expected, you should contact Pollard Marketing to discuss specific needs.

Pre-Wetting Salt and Abrasives
Liquid Calcium Chloride and Mastermelt are products that Pollard offers for "pre-wetting" salt or abrasives to yield better performance  at temperatures.

Many Municipalities are realizing significant economic and environmental benefits in Road Safety and better salt effectiveness through the use of chloride based liquids.  Such are applied as direct liquid application on paved surfaces or are used to pre-wet salt before or during its spreading on roads.
