Melts down to 25 f.
Calcium chloride ice melt safe concrete.
This is a hygroscopic compound.
So it absorbs water and then generates heat as it dissolves up to 140 f.
Another good de icer is cma or calcium magnesium acetate which doesn t wash away as easily as the others and has a lower environmental impact.
