Road Salt  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

During the winter months, road salt is used to thaw roads by appropriately equipped snow vehicles. A special device distributes the salt over a wide area of the road surface. Due to normal road traffic, the de-icing salt is crushed and can now develop its thawing effect. The road does not remain free of ice forever after the application of de-icing agents; the process must be repeated several times a day so that traffic can roll as freely as possible. Despite all efforts, drivers cannot expect summer road conditions. Therefore, according to a rule of thumb from O-O (from October to Easter) the summer tyres should stay at home in winter. In addition, it is also a regulation for drivers to drive with winter tyres. These should also have the required tread depth and should not be porous. Car tyres should generally be replaced after 6 years.strewing salt almost corresponds to the normal table salt. Since the table salt has a higher tax rate, the de-icing salt has been added, making it unsuitable for human consumption. In the private sector there are strict regulations for de-icing agents. The use of road salt on footpaths is strictly prohibited, only grit may be used here. No chemicals may be used in water protection areas. By the way, hydrants must always be kept free of snow and ice.
