IB Deicing Liquid – Reduce Salt Usage & Improve Winter Road Performance
IB Deicing Liquid is an environmentally friendly, high-performance deicing solution designed specifically for municipalities, DOTs, and commercial snow management operations. Made from forestry by-products blended with a calcium base, IB Deicing Liquid delivers exceptional melting power while remaining non-toxic, biodegradable, water-soluble, non-corrosive, and formulated with natural rust-inhibiting properties.
When used to coat salt stockpiles, IB Deicing Liquid can reduce total salt usage by 30–50%, helping Connecticut towns lower winter operating costs and improve roadway safety.
IB Deicing Liquid for Municipalities
Municipalities across Connecticut rely on IB Deicing Liquid to improve storm readiness and enhance winter road maintenance operations.
Ideal Municipal Applications
-
Treat Salt Stockpiles – Coat bulk salt to reduce material usage while increasing melting efficiency
-
On-Board Pre-Wetting Systems – Inject at the spinner for faster melting in extreme cold
-
Direct Roadway Pre-Treatment – Apply to pavement prior to storms to prevent the bonding of snow and ice
Bulk delivery is available in 1,000–4,500 gallon quantities directly to municipal yards and public works facilities.
IB Deicing Liquid supports both deicing (during storms) and anti-icing (before storms), reducing snowpack formation and minimizing the labor required to keep roads clear.
How IB Deicing Liquid Works
Before Precipitation (Anti-Icing)
IB Deicing Liquid can be sprayed or drip-applied hours before an expected storm. The treatment creates a non-stick barrier on pavement, preventing snow and ice from bonding to the road surface. Benefits include:
-
Easier plowing and scraping
-
Prevention of snowpack formation
-
Faster return to bare pavement
-
Reduced material usage throughout the storm
When used to coat bulk salt, IB-treated salt continues melting down to –20°F, delivering superior performance during extreme cold events.
During Precipitation (Deicing & Enhanced Melting)
IB Deicing Liquid can be used throughout the storm to improve overall melting performance:
-
Apply treated salt during and after plowing to break the ice-to-pavement bond
-
Use with onboard pre-wetting systems to supercharge salt at the spinner
-
Accelerate melting at lower temperatures when untreated salt becomes ineffective
-
Achieve longer residual melting action, reducing repeat applications and improving operational efficiency
Municipalities that incorporate IB Deicing Liquid into their winter maintenance programs typically see significant time savings and measurable budget reductions.
