Which de-icing salt to choose?

1. How much does de-icing salt cost?

The price of de-icing salt varies according to several factors, including the quantity purchased, the type of salt and where you buy it. In big-box stores, bags of de-icing salt are often sold at a high price for a limited quantity.

At Lee Vrac, we offer a more economical and ecological solution: de-icing salt in boilers. Buying in bulk can be up to four times cheaper than buying in a big-box store!

Opting for this format not only reduces your costs, it also means you can reduce your packaging - a more environmentally-friendly choice.

2. What types of de-icing salts are available?

Not all de-icing salts are created equal. Here are the main types available:

$
Rock salt (sodium chloride): The most common and affordable, but loses effectiveness at temperatures below -10°C.
$

Calcium chloride: Very effective at lower temperatures (down to -30°C), but more expensive.

$
Salt blends: Some products combine several types of salt to balance cost and performance.

We focus on quality and efficiency to ensure that our customers get the best possible results, even on the coldest winter days.

3. How to choose the right salt for your needs?

To choose the right de-icing salt, assess your priorities:

$

Budget

If saving money is your priority, bulk salt is the best option.
