ProSlicer™ | Pre-Wet Enhanced Deicer

ProSlicer™

ProSlicer™ A MeltDown Beneath Zero™ contains a blend of naturally occurring crystal and liquid ice melt products. MeltDown Beneath Zero is created through the application of a high performance liquid deicer added to a blend of fine and coarse crystal ice melt by using 'prewetting' technology. Through the prewetting process, this high performance granular ice melt can be made to melt faster, last longer and perform better.

ProSlicer™ | Pre-Wet Enhanced Deicer

ProSlicer™ A MeltDown Beneath Zero™ contains a blend of naturally occurring crystal and liquid ice melt products. MeltDown Beneath Zero is created through the application of a high performance liquid deicer added to a blend of fine and coarse crystal ice melt by using 'prewetting' technology. Through the prewetting process, this high performance granular ice melt can be made to melt faster, last longer and perform better.



Why A Prewet De-Icer?

Deicing products don't begin to perform until the solid becomes a liquid. It is this liquid that does the actual job of melting. Through use of prewetting technology, we have encapsulated each crystal in a high-performance liquid de-icer. This feature gives MeltDown Beneath Zero superior performance, reduced bounce and scatter, corrosion protection to spreading equipment and minimizes environmental impact

Deicing Rate/Effective Deicing Temperature

MeltDown Beneath Zero's one-two punch, using the prewetting technology, brings into play both the fast melting of liquid deicers and the staying power of granular ice melt. No other known deicer is capable of attaining those specified levels of performance quicker. MeltDown Beneath Zero is recognized as the fastest to melt snow and ice, therefore the fastest to perform to its specifications. MeltDown Beneath Zero also provides excellent refreeze protection. These traits make MeltDown Beneath Zero a more effective and longer lasting deicer

Melting Capacity/The One-Two Punch

MeltDown Beneath Zero melting capacity rivals that of calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, at a much lower cost. Through the prewetting technology, MeltDown Beneath Zero performs to specifications almost immediately. When applied to a snow-covered surface, MeltDown Beneath Zero quickly begins to dissolve and penetrate snow pack and ice. The bond between the ice and pavement is then broken, which allows loosened ice and snow to be easily removed. Because of the advanced formulation, MeltDown Beneath Zero will maintain a residual which can prevent ice and snow from bonding to the surface.

Corrosion Level

With MeltDown Beneath Zero, through reduced application rates, fewer chlorides are placed into the environment. In the production of MeltDown Beneath Zero, the latest in high yield anticorrosion technology is utilized, therefore making it less corrosive. MeltDown Beneath Zero provides consumers with a complete blended product in each crystal.

Vegetation Safety

MeltDown Beneath Zero is produced from all natural ingredients. The only processing done to MeltDown Beneath Zero is the blending of the product's components. When used properly, it should not be harmful to vegetation. It is safe to handle and is not known to stain shoes, carpet, cement, or asphalt

Uses

Meltdown Beneath Zero is designed for general use on roadways, sidewalks, entryways, and parking areas. Meltdown Beneath Zero is so effective that the amount of product needed for a typical application is considerably reduced from that of most traditional ice melt products, and the need for reapplication is less frequent. Available in 50 pound bags, this product may be applied either by spreader or by hand

Safer-Than-Salt® | Commercial Ice Melter

Safer-Than-Salt®

Safer-Than-Salt® are uniquely designed to provide a blend of performance and cost effectiveness. Midwest can provide the following blended deicers: Safer-Than-Salt® PREMIUM * Calcium Chloride / Magnesium Chloride / Sodium Chloride blend * Effective to -25° F * Tinted BLUE * Package Sizes: 50 lb Pail 50 lb Box 50 lb Bag 25 lb Bag 4 x 10 lb Jug Safer-Than-Salt® COMMERCIAL * Calcium Chloride / Magnesium Chloride / Potassium Chloride / Sodium Chloride Blend * Effective to -25°F * Tinted PINK * Package Sizes: 50 lb Bag.

Safer-Than-Salt® | Commercial Ice Melt

Unique formulation outperforms other ice melters. Safer-Than-Salt® Ice Melter is a proprietary formulation of potassium chloride (a fertilizer), calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and sodium chloride. The product is coated with liquid magnesium chloride / CMA mixture to help "jump start" the melting process. Safer-Than-Salt® Commercial Ice Melter will melt more snow and ice than most other products. It works faster and at tempatures when many other products have stopped working.
Safer-Than-Salt® Commercial Ice Melter is formulated to be seen when used. Most "white" ice melt products disappear into snow and ice. Users tend to over apply or worse, under apply product because they can't see where it lands. Additionally, in today's litigation-driven society, Safer-Than-Salt® Commercial Ice Melter affords users positive proof that an ice melter is in use. Because Safer-Than-Salt® Commercial Ice Melter melts more effectively than other products, a smaller quantity is needed to remove snow and ice, minimizing the grounds and vegetation.

PELADOW™ | Premier Ice-Melt

When you need to buy professional grade ice melting materials, no ice and snow melt is as effective as Peladowtm calcium chloride pellets. In the snowy cities of Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, and New York, icy sidewalks and parking lots require a high performance deicer that can burn through hard pack snow and ice. Peladowtm brand calcium chloride pellets are the defacto standard of pellet deicers in North America, and are available in truckload shipments directly from our locations in Ludington, MI, Mansfield, MA, and Piscataway, NJ.
Calcium chloride pellets, like Peladowtm, are highly effective at cold temperatures down to -25F. In fact, Peladowtm calcium chloride pellets are the only deicer that will continue to melt ice dams and hard pack in extremely cold environments. In cities like Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, and Philadelphia that were hard hit by record snow fall in 2009 and 2010, Peladow™ continues to be the premier choice for snow-fighting during these storms.
No other ice-melt product works on snow and ice better than Peladow™ Calcium Chloride Pellets.

This has been proven by:

  • Comparative performance tests
  • Scientific research
Distinguished from Other Ice Melters
Peladow™ Calcium Chloride Pellets:
