The liquid component starts melting ice instantly while breaking its surface tension. This allows the crystal core to quickly penetrate and destabilize the ice and speed up the melting process. All this while Safe Paw proprietary traction agents provide slip protection. Safe Paw attracts heat to make it even more effective. Endothermic reaction takes advantage of a solar effect.\n\u2022 Non-corrosive and non-conductive formula \u2013 safe on cured concrete!\n\u2022 Pet and Kid Safe even if ingested.\n\u2022 Concentrated formula \u2013 use \u00bd of what you would use with salt!  Lasts 72 hours on the surface!\n\u2022 Salt free, chlorine free, acetate free formula \u2013 environmentally safe\nTraction Magic Ice Melt : \nThe use of ice melts does not solve the problem of the need to immediately cross icy or snowy surfaces. Traction Magic is the only traction agent that works instantly. It can be used when your car is stuck, when you need to walk on walkways, driveways, or decks. Traction Magic\u2019s all natural crystals first absorb in the liquid layer and then, with their spiky ends, bury themselves into the ice sheet. The icy surface, with the granules buried into it, provides a stable non-slip surface similar to sandpaper for your tires, shoes, and paws to travel on. Traction Magic Works with temperature down to -35 degree C is 100% natural, safe to handle, and effective. Made in the USA.\n\u2022 Easily spread a light coating on the surface, and instantly turn ice into a non-skid surface \u2013 whether below your feet or under your tires!\n\u2022 Protect horses on winter tracks.\n\u2022 Safe on all concrete \u2013 no freeze thaw effect whatsoever\n\u2022 If only absorbing water and alcohol, reusable.  With liquids that do not evaporate, not reusable.  Saves a lot of money in reuse, because it is easily swept up, and placed back into the emergency kit.\nPowered by \nGaia Enterprises Inc.\nhttps:\/\/gaiausa.com \nFind Gaia Products Near You\nhttps:\/\/gaiausa.com\/#how-to-buy \nOur Products Range\nSafe Paw https:\/\/safepaw.com\nTraction Magic https:\/\/tractionmagic.com\nSafe Thaw https:\/\/safethaw.com\/\nWalk on Ice https:\/\/walkonice.com\/\n \nFollow |Like | Share | Comment on below links\nFacebook  https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gaiaenterprisesinc \nTwitter https:\/\/twitter.com\/GaiaEnterprises\nInstagram https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gaia_protected\/\nLinkedIn https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/safetyproducts-gaiaenterprises \nRead Safe Paw Blog https:\/\/safepaw.com\/blog\/  \nSubscribe Gaia Enterprises YouTube Channel https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCA3UP4mnXdPO6lUzYf3_u5Q \n\n\nAddress: Gaia Enterprises, Inc.
