Directions

Apply at 10–20 lbs per 1,000 sq ft (about ¼–½ cup per square yard). Spread evenly in a uniform pattern; a mechanical spreader is recommended for larger areas. Once the ice bond breaks, remove slush/ice for best results. Can also be applied at the start of a storm to help prevent hard ice buildup.

*Important Surface Notes: Do not apply to unsealed concrete, brick, exposed aggregate, or precast steps, and do not use on concrete less than 12 months old. Always follow label directions for best results and surface safety.
