Ice Melt Blend Supplier in Canada
- ✓A calcium-chloride and sodium-chloride blend effective to about −25 °C.
- ✓Balances rock salt's economy with calcium chloride's cold-weather speed.
- ✓Supplied bagged and bulk for commercial properties and contractors.
Overview
Ice melt blend pairs sodium chloride with calcium chloride to land between the two on both price and performance. The salt keeps the cost down; the calcium chloride extends the working range and speeds the melt, so a single bagged product covers a wider band of conditions than rock salt alone — effective to about −25 °C. The blend is formulated to work to about −25 °C — between plain salt (−9 °C) and straight CaCl₂ (−32 °C) — in 20 kg bags.
That all-purpose character is why blended ice melt is the default bagged product for commercial properties, snow-and-ice contractors and facility crews. One pallet handles parking lots, entrances, stairs and walkways without having to stock several separate products, and it spreads cleanly by hand or with a walk-behind spreader.
Compared with straight calcium chloride, a blend costs less and is gentler to handle; compared with plain rock salt, it works in colder conditions and acts faster on bonded ice. For most commercial sites that mix of cost, range and convenience is the practical sweet spot.
Chloride.ca supplies ice melt blend in palletized bags for routes and crews and in bulk for higher-volume accounts, delivered to every province and territory with contract pricing and priority seasonal restock. Call for a same-day quote on bagged or bulk blend.
Blends are formulated to a ratio, not improvised, so the proportion of CaCl₂ to sodium chloride sets both the working temperature and the price. A higher calcium fraction buys colder performance and faster melt; a higher salt fraction keeps the cost down. Tell us the coldest conditions you need to cover and we will point you to the blend that matches without paying for range you will not use.

Frequently asked questions
Yes — our pet-safe ice melt option is the magnesium-based blend, widely regarded as the pet friendly ice melt choice because it is less irritating to paws than straight rock salt. For roof ice melt (ice dams), use a calcium-based puck or bagged product in a breathable sock rather than spreading granules on shingles. Liquid ice melt (brine) is also available for pre-treating walkways before a storm.
It is a blend of sodium chloride and CaCl₂ — the salt keeps the cost down while the CaCl₂ extends the working temperature and speeds the melt, effective to about −25 °C.
A blend suits commercial sites that want one all-purpose bagged product: colder-rated and faster than plain rock salt, more economical and easier to handle than straight CaCl₂.
Yes — it spreads cleanly by hand or walk-behind spreader and handles lots, stairs, entrances and walkways from one pallet, which is why contractors favour it.
Yes — palletized bags for crews and routes and bulk for higher-volume accounts, delivered nationwide with contract pricing and priority restock.
