MAG® Pellets offer a safer alternative to melting ice and snow. Significantly less corrosive than calcium chloride and sodium chloride on steel, tin, and aluminum, and causes significantly less spalling on concrete. With it's lower chloride content, there is less chloride run-off and therefore better for the environment. Safer for use around animals and humans due to it's low toxicity, and safer to use around vegetation as well. Works down to -13° F. The spherical shape of the pellets works well with spreaders.
