Sand and Salt Mix

Sand and Salt Mix is a versatile, dual-action winter safety product engineered to provide both immediate traction and effective ice melting. This specialized blend typically consists of a high-ratio of sharp, screened masonry sand mixed with coarse rock salt. While the salt works to chemically break the bond between ice and pavement, the sand provides an instant "gritty" surface that prevents tires and boots from slipping. In Ontario, Sand and Salt Mix is the preferred choice for extreme cold temperatures where standard salt alone becomes less effective; the sand ensures the surface remains walkable and drivable even when the thermometer drops below the melting point of sodium chloride.
