Sodium Chloride (De-Icing Salt)

 

Sodium Chloride (De-Icing Salt)

Deicing salts reduce the melting point of water and prevent ice from forming. Sodium chloride is the most commonly used product for deicing roads, sidewalks, parking lots and driveways.

Road salt, or sodium chloride, works by lowering the freezing point of water, causing ice to melt even when the temperature is below water's normal freezing point of 32 degrees. When salt is applied, it dissolves into separate sodium and chloride ions that disrupt the bonds between water molecules.
