Description
This study was undertaken to determine the comparative effectiveness of chloride salts and abrasive-chloride salt mixtures for ice removal. It was also desired to study the storage characteristics of sodium chloride, calcium chloride and mixtures of these materials.
Controlled field ice removal tests were run on 15 combinations of materials within three temperature ranges. Data were collected on thickness of ice; actual quantity and location of chemical or abrasive applied; and periodic condition of the ice with regard to amount of ice removed.
The outdoor storage characteristics of seven bulk materials and one packaged material under a light polyethylene sheeting were studied. The materials were sampled for moisture, crusting and caking for a period of 10 months.
