Effective Winter Solutions: Salt Brine and Liquid Deicer
Salt brine and liquid deicers are proven solutions for preventing ice and snow buildup on roads, sidewalks, and parking lots. Applied before a winter storm, these products create a protective barrier that makes it easier to remove accumulated ice and snow.
What Are Salt Brine and Liquid Deicers?
Salt brine is a mixture of salt and water, while liquid deicers contain various chemicals designed to lower the freezing temperature of water. These solutions are widely used by municipalities and transportation agencies to manage hazardous winter conditions and improve road safety.
Benefits of Liquid Deicers
When used prior to a major snowstorm, liquid deicers effectively prevent snow from sticking and ice from forming on roadways. Their proactive approach makes salt brine and liquid deicers essential tools for ensuring safe travel during winter weather.
The Salt Factory’s Offerings
The Salt Factory provides two effective anti-icing solutions: salt brine and Magic-0. These products help you implement preventative deicing services for your customers.

Salt Brine
The Salt Factory is one of the few businesses in the Pittsburgh area to offer one of the most powerful and cost-effective ice-prevention solutions—salt brine.
Anti-icing measures—like the application of salt bring—take place before the snow falls and, consequently, before ice forms on roadways. They aim to prevent the bond of frozen precipitation to the road surface. In some circumstances, anti-icing can dramatically cut the cost of maintaining a safe road surface over conventional deicing methods. Anti-icing chemicals are applied in liquid form (salt brine) to road surfaces just before a snow or ice storm. Liquid sodium chloride (NaCl) is the most effective choice for anti-icing above 15° F (-9.4° C).
Benefits of using salt brine as an anti-icing agent:
-
The roadway surface is never "lost."
-
Anti-icing returns road surfaces to normal faster, resulting in fewer accidents and delays.
-
Using a pre-treat liquid deicer jumpstarts the melting process since salt needs moisture to be effective.
-
Brine doesn’t bounce or blow off the road surface, thereby reducing material waste.
-
In the event of a delayed storm, salt residue remains on the road ready to begin work when precipitation begins.
-
Crews can cover more territory by beginning treatment in advance of a storm.
-
Reduces salt use, minimizing environmental concerns.
Magic-0
Magic Minus Zero® liquid concentrate is a proprietary blend of magnesium chloride and agricultural by-products that have been EPA recognized as safer for the environment and authorized to carry the DfE emblem. Magic Minus Zero® is an economical and environmentally effective way to keep your roads safe! Magic Minus Zero® allows for lower salt application rates and has less impact on the environment which leads to dramatic cost savings. Magic Minus Zero® meets the stringent requirements of the PNS (Pacific Northwest Snowfighters) for corrosion, toxicity, and performance.
Benefits of using Magic Minus Zero® as an anti-icing agent:
-
Improves winter road conditions and service levels.
-
Salt pretreated or pre-wetted with Magic Minus Zero® works at lower temperatures than traditional dry salt.
-
Magic Minus Zero® treated salt adheres to the road more effectively than traditional deicing methods thereby reducing bounce, scatter, and product waste.
-
Magic Minus Zero® can safely be applied prior to a storm event (anti-icing) thus preventing a bond from forming between the pavement and the snow accumulation.
-
Magic Minus Zero® has a residual effect that is far superior to other deicers. This fact is attributed to the high viscosity of Magic Minus Zero® reducing chloride brine runoff into the road shoulders.
-
Magic Minus Zero® is ideal for treating black ice and clear weather frost on road and bridge surfaces.
-
Magic Minus Zero® can also be used as a concentrate with salt brines to reduce corrosion, lower freeze points, and increase working time.
-
Saves time, labor, fuel, and materials.
-
Lower working temperatures coupled with better adherence and residual effect results in a 20 - 40 percent salt savings.
-
Dramatically reduces the corrosivity of salt and its effect on equipment, chains, bearings, frames, brakes, and electrical components.
-
Safer than other deicing methods for use around animals and humans. Does not affect skin, leather, clothing, or carpets.
-
Reduces the levels of sodium and chloride ion exposure to wells, vegetation, and surface / groundwater.
-
Magic Minus Zero® protects roads and infrastructure by dramatically reducing corrosion rates.
