Snow, rain, ice, and wind that\u2019s all we\u2019re getting.So how are you prepared this winter for the snow? Do you know what damages the concrete most? Here\u2019s the main enemy of concrete- the freeze-thaw cycle.When the water seeped in concrete freezes, it produces pressure that may result in long-term damage to your concrete driveway. Freeze-thaw damage may appear as either internal cracking or surface scaling. The most common ice melt, rock salt, only lowers the refreezing temperature to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit. It means that ice melt from rock salt will thaw and refreeze anytime the temperature fluctuates above and below 20 degrees, thus causing further damage..wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_13c1d3-9c\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}Weather Forcast[wpc-weather id=”3159″ \/]With this understanding, let\u2019s evaluate all the options –1. Green Gobbler –Green Goggler has rock salt as its main ingredient. It does the job of making your driveways and pavements ice-free, but they wreak significant damages to your concrete and leaves stains and streaks on the surface. As the temperature fluctuates above and below 20 degrees it thaws and refreezes.2. Safe Step, Uline, Snow Joe, etc –These brands use chemicals like calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and other salts.Chloride components like calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, etc dissolve slowly. The slow dissolving rate also means that the walkway, driveway, and deck are unsafe for a longer duration. Moreover, chloride-based salts are detrimental to the concrete of your driveway and damages it. Salt is slightly acidic, and the acidity breaks down the chemical bonds essential to concrete\u2019s strength.3. Safe Paw – It is a patented dual-effect compound and consists of a crystalline amide core which is infused with traction agents and glycol admixture. In general, it is designed to melt ice, prevent it from refreezing and anti-slipping traction. Safe Paw can work at temperatures as low as -2 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a natural snow melter and is free of all harmful chemicals, corrosive salts, and dyes. So, it is safe to use around pets. Since it is free from chloride, it is the best ice melter that is concrete safe. Safe Paw not only works quickly and melts the ice effectively, but it also prevents the snow from sticking to the surface for up to three days of its application.Choosing the best ice melter that is concrete safe can help you extend its lifespan. So, look for an ice melt that will keep melted ice in a liquid state for a longer duration. It means that ice melt will not refreeze as easily or as often, thus preventing the freeze-thaw cycle..wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}Other ProductsTraction Magic – Walk On IceThe handy disposable canister can be taken everywhere with the same 100% naturally occurring minerals that provide instant traction on ice.
