Bulk Salt: The Essential Ingredient for Winter Maintenance

Winter is here and with it comes the need for proper maintenance to ensure safe roadways and sidewalks. One of the most essential tools in the winter maintenance arsenal is bulk salt. Bull salt, which is also known as rock salt, is primarily composed of sodium chloride. When spread on roads and sidewalks, it works by lowering the freezing point of water, preventing ice from forming or melting existing ice. This allows for safer travel on roads and sidewalks during the winter months.

Why Bulk Salt?

There are several benefits to using bulk salt for winter maintenance. Firstly, it is a cost effective solution because bulk salt is readily available and relatively inexpensive. Secondly, it is easy to store and transport, making it a convenient option for municipalities and snow removal companies. Another advantage of bulk salt is that it makes travel safer even in harsh weather conditions as there are less chances of slipping or falling.

When it comes to using bulk salt, it is important to choose a high-quality product. The salt should be free of impurities and in a consistent size and shape. Draglam Salt is one of Ontario’s leading suppliers of bulk salt and provides quality rock salt. The consistent size and shape help in spreading the salt evenly on the surface. Higher quality rock salt ensures higher effectiveness which means that with small amounts of bulk salt, you can melt snow and ice in larger areas.
