Anti-icing
Anti-icing is the process of applying a layer of Liquidow™ calcium
chloride on hard road surfaces before an ice or snow storm
begins. Applying Liquidow™ calcium chloride to
the road before a storm help to prevent ice and snow from bonding
to the road permitting quicker and better removal of the snow
and ice. With no ice or snow build up slippery road conditions
are averted and snow removal crews can more easily remove additional
snow and ice since they are able to contact bare pavement on
their initial pass.
Anti-icing is a proactive approach to fighting ice and snow
and typically can be applied up to 24 hours before the start
of inclement weather.
Anti-icing can also reduce or eliminate the need for applying
granular material that may be required for improved traction.
Deicing
Deicing or pre-wetting with Liquidow™ calcium chloride
involves blending calcium chloride with granular materials such
as cinder chips, rock salt or sand. Pre-wetting with calcium
chloride reduces bounce and scatter of granular materials while
improving traction in treated areas.
Blending Liquidow™ calcium chloride with rock salt allows
end users to tailor their approach to each specific situation
they may encounter with fast ice-melting action and improved
low temperature performance.
Quality ● Quality ● Quality
Liquidow™ calcium chloride meets or exceeds ASTMD98 and
AASHTO M144 standard specifications for calcium chloride purity.
Occidental Chemical Corporation a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum
Corporation is a leading producer of calcium chloride products
under the names Liquidow™ calcium chloride, DowFlake™Xtra,
and Peladow© calcium chloride pellets.
Many snow removal contractors have benefited from the flexibility
that liquid calcium chloride provides by applying the chloride
as an anti-icing agent hours before the storm arrives.
