Blue Salt Unveiled: Understanding What Makes Blue Salt Different.

Winter’s arrival brings about scenes of white landscapes, steamy mugs, woolen wear, and of course, the familiar sprinkle of salt over pathways and driveways. But among the regular white granules, there’s been an azure trend catching eyes – blue salt. If you’ve ever wondered, “What is blue salt, and why is it blue?” you’re about to uncover the secrets behind this vivid winter essential.

What is Blue Salt?

The essence of blue salt isn’t alien. At its heart, it’s a rock salt, much like the familiar white counterpart many have used for years. However, the blue hue is an intentional addition, setting it apart in several ways:

• Visibility: The striking blue tint ensures that you can see exactly where you’ve spread the salt, preventing over-application and allowing you to cover missed spots.
• Performance Indicators: Some blue salts contain additives that, beyond just color, indicate the salt’s performance. As it melts the ice, changes in color can tell users when to reapply.
• Additives: Beyond color, many blue salts have proprietary mixtures designed to boost their melting prowess, often working at colder temperatures than their plain counterparts.

Ice Melt Sprayers: A Revolution with a Caveat

While blue salt has been making waves, another trend in the deicing realm is the ice melt sprayer. A modern tool aiming to make deicing quicker and more efficient, these sprayers are designed for liquid deicers. The convenience is undeniable, especially for vast areas. But is it all rosy?

• Overzealous Spraying: With the ease of a sprayer, over-application becomes a real possibility. This can lead to wastage and can harm the environment.
• Consistency Concerns: While sprayers promise even coverage, malfunctions or uneven pressures can result in patches of unsprayed areas, leading to inconsistent melting.
• Maintenance and Costs: Being machinery, sprayers need regular upkeep. They can also be a significant investment compared to traditional spreading tools.
• Environmental Impact: Liquid sprayed deicers can drift beyond the intended areas, possibly harming plants or entering water sources.
