Technical salt is a natural mineral whose main constituent is sodium chloride. Among de-icing agents, technical salt is clearly the most sought-after solution. Its popularity is due to its high efficiency, low price and ease of use. In addition, by combining technical salt with sand, gravel or calcium chloride, for example, its performance can be significantly enhanced, further reducing slipping and increasing the grip of the vehicle tyres.

Ice and snow melt in a much shorter time thanks to the ability of salt crystals to absorb moisture efficiently. Moreover, salt freezes at much lower temperatures than water, so it not only does an excellent job of melting existing ice, but also prevents the formation of new ice.
