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.
