Liquid Calcium Chloride Brine: The Green Choice for Ice and Snow Control
What is Liquid Calcium Chloride Brine?
Liquid Calcium Chloride Brine is an environmentally safe and effective solution for:​
-
​Ice and snow removal & prevention
-
Road stabilization
-
Dust control
It’s made up of:
-
21–24% Calcium Chloride
-
4.11–5% Magnesium Chloride
-
1.68–2% Potassium Chloride
-
3.78–4% Sodium Chloride
Why Choose Liquid Calcium Chloride Brine?

Safe for People & Animals
Liquid Calcium Chloride Brine is essentially non-toxic. When applied correctly, it poses no significant risk to people, animals, or the environment. It’s been used for over 100 years and has been proven safe by multiple studies.¹

Environmentally Friendly
Calcium (Ca) and chloride (Cl) ions naturally occur in the environment and are essential for plants and animals. When appropriately used, Liquid Calcium Chloride Brine has minimal environmental impact. Studies show that it’s less hazardous to ecosystems than many alternatives.²
: Pre-treating with brine means fewer chemical applications, lowering the overall environmental footprint.

Cost Effective & Efficient
Fewer snowplow trips: Only one anti-icing truck trip is needed for every three conventional snow-removal trips.
Less equipment wear and tear: Crews use fewer chemicals, reducing time, and effort

How Does Anti-Icing Work?
Anti-icing prevents snow and ice from bonding to the pavement, requiring less chemical usage than traditional deicing. Here’s why this matters:
Fewer chemicals = Less environmental impact.¹
Easier snow removal: Plowing becomes faster and more effective after treatment.

Compliant with Environmental Regulations
Liquid Calcium Chloride Brine meets all standards under the Clean Water Act and contains no regulated pollutants.

Proven Success
State highway departments in Iowa, Missouri, Oregon, and Washington found the following benefits:
-
Cost savings due to fewer snowplow runs
-
Reduced chemical use
-
Less road damage
-
Faster snow clearing
