Capable of melting -25 degrees below zero. For safer sidewalks and steps you can't beat Peladow Premier Snow and Ice Melter. In order for any deicer to work, it must become a solution. The solution provides the deicing action, not the solid material. Peladow works fast because it attracts moisture from its surroundings, and quickly turns into a solution. Peladow gives off heat while dissolving, which speeds the melting process.
