Peladow - Calcium Chloride Pellets, 50 lb. Bag - (Pallet of 55)

• Contains 90% calcium chloride, which penetrates ice up to 3 times faster than competing materials
• Releases heat to speed melting
• Performs in a wider range of winter temperatures, even extreme cold
• Helps make steps, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots safer

PELADOW is a purified inorganic salt produced by removing water from a naturally occurring brine solution. Unlike other processes used to produce calcium chloride, the brining process does not involve reactions with chemicals such as hydrochloric acid or ammonia. The National Organic Standards Board noted this distinction when it classified the brining process as “non-synthetic.” PELADOW meets or exceeds ASTM D98 and AASHTO M144 requirements for calcium chloride purity. ASTM classification for PELADOW is Type S, Grade 2, Class B.

Application:
PELADOW Calcium Chloride Pellets are the premier snow and ice melter, ideal for clearing sidewalks, driveways and parking lots. It melts ice up to 3 times faster than competing materials, and outperforms other products across a wide range of temperatures. The round shape of PELADOW helps it penetrate ice and break the bond with the pavement more quickly than flat or crystal-shaped ice melters, allowing easy removal of ice and snow.

Storage:
Solid calcium chloride is both hygroscopic and deliquescent. This means that the product can absorb moisture from the air, even to the point of converting to liquid brine. For this reason, solid calcium chloride should be protected from excessive exposure to moisture to maintain product quality while in storage. Store in a dry area. Opened packages should be tightly resealed after each use.

Make Calcium Chloride Solutions from Peladow:
PELADOW is the ideal choice for making anti-icing solutions to fight black ice or frost. Mix 20 lbs (2.4 gal) of pellets in enough cold water to make 5 gallons of solution. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes or until completely dissolved. Use caution as the solution will get hot. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for safe handling details. Apply using a plastic weed sprayer or similar equipment. Rinse any metal parts with fresh water when finished.

Is calcium chloride safe for driveways?
Calcium chloride is more expensive than sodium chloride, but it's less harsh on your driveway than sodium chloride on your concrete. It can work for temperatures down to -25° F and it works faster than sodium chloride.

Is calcium chloride better than salt?
Calcium chloride outdistances traditional deicing materials to achieve safer, bare pavement – faster than salt or abrasives alone. Calcium chloride melts up to eight times as much ice as does salt alone – within the first 30 minutes at 20F (-7C) following application.
