a brand of premium calcium chloride (CaCl₂) pellets, a fast-acting deicer used for melting snow and ice on sidewalks, driveways, and steps, working effectively at low temperatures by attracting moisture, generating heat, and breaking ice's bond with surfaces. Its unique round shape and high purity (around 90% CaCl₂) allow it to penetrate ice faster than many competitors, offering a quicker, more efficient way to clear ice and slush compared to other products.
Key Features & Benefits:
Fast Action: Generates heat and brine to undercut ice quickly.
High Purity: Around 90% pure calcium chloride, meeting ASTM/AASHTO standards.
Effective at Low Temps: Works well in cold conditions.
Shape: Round pellets penetrate ice more efficiently than flat crystals.
Application: Apply to shoveled snow to melt the remaining ice, then shovel slush away.
How it Works:
Attracts Moisture: Peladow pellets absorb water from the air and ice.
Generates Heat: This process creates a heat-generating exothermic reaction.
Forms Brine: Creates a salty brine solution that melts ice from the bottom up.
Breaks Bond: The brine undercuts the ice, making it easy to shovel or plow off.
