Treated Sand

Mixture of sand and road salt - this mixture of sand and road salt gives you the melting power of the road salt and the grit of the sand. Treated Sand gives you traction and remains on the affected surface after the road salt has dissolved.

Screened Sand

Medium grade sand - used in areas that road salt is not allowed. It has the grit to give traction necessary in icy areas but it is not effective in ice melting.

Road Salt

Medium to coarse grained particles - good in controlling small amounts of snow or ice. The process by which salt melts ice starts when the salt first hits the ice. The ice directly around the salt particle melts first. The melting process spreads outward from that point. If the ice is thick then the salt really won't have any effect - the solid salt cannot get into the structure of the solid water to start the dissolving process. In that case, spreading a sand and salt mixture over the top of the ice to provide traction is a better option.
