RR snow melting agent
When winter comes, we often see that after heavy snow, workers use spray trucks or manually use shovels to sprinkle a white substance, which is called snow melting agent or composite snow melting agent.
So what are the main ingredients?
There are two main types of snow melting agents on the market. One is chlorine salt, such as magnesium chloride tablets in magnesium chloride hexahydrate, calcium chloride particles in calcium chloride particles dihydrate, sodium chloride, etc., which can be used directly or as a composite snow melting agent.
The other is organic snow melting agent, such as calcium magnesium acetate, which is the so-called snow melting agent.
The difference between the two is that the former has the advantage of high cost performance, more manufacturers and easier to find.
The disadvantage is that if the dosage cannot be controlled well, although the snow melting effect is fast, it will also cause certain corrosion to vegetation and buildings. Therefore, corrosion inhibitor is added to the composite snow melting agent to reduce the effect of corrosion.
The advantage of this method is that it is more than ten times more expensive than the ordinary one, but it is more suitable for any place without corrosion.
The composition of composite snow melting agent is mostly magnesium chloride, calcium chloride and sodium chloride in a certain proportion plus corrosion inhibitor, which is generally 4:3:2:1, or with different proportions according to different requirements, mainly according to the non freezing temperature and snow melting efficiency.
