ICE Away

ICE-AWAY is an alternative to traditional salt-based ice treatments. Using a unique formula containing Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) and  potassium formate (CMA+), ICE-AWAY lasts longer than salting and is less damaging to surroundings. From minor frosts to thick layered ice, ICE-AWAY is effective down to -10°c and can last for 60 hours once applied.

Benefits of using ICE-AWAY rather than salting:

1. Eco-Friendly with Nordic Swan ecolabel: Unlike traditional rock salt, which can have detrimental effects on the environment it is applied to, ice away is a more sustainable choice. It’s biodegradable and poses no threat to the surrounding flora and fauna. https://www.nordic-swan-ecolabel.org/official-nordic-ecolabel/
2. Longevity: ICE-AWAY has been documented to last longer than salt when applied to roads and pathways, meaning fewer applications are needed. ‘ICE-AWAY’ lasts approximately 60 hours once applied, compared to 8 hours for salting.
3. Protection of Trees and Vegetation: One of the significant downsides of salting is the harmful effects on trees and vegetation. Salt can leach into the soil, affecting the nutrient balance and harming plants. ice away does not have this negative impact, making it a safer choice for areas with a lot of greenery.
4. No dust from salt particles: salt can create dust particles when vehicles are passing, leading to air pollution and potential respiratory issues for those nearby. ice away does not produce this dust, it actively settles dust as it has a duo use as a dust-management additive – ensuring cleaner air quality.
5. Reduced Corrosion: Anyone living in a winter-prone area knows the havoc salt can wreak on cars and infrastructure. The corrosive nature of salt can lead to rusting and degradation of metal surfaces as well as foundations on buildings. ICE-AWAY is less corrosive, which means less damage to vehicles, bridges, buildings, and other infrastructure.

ICE-AWAY is provided as a ready-to-use liquid, and is usually applied using a spreader plate or misting equipment. For full details please request MSDS. Storage: Store in cool, dry conditions (between 5-30°c)
