Why Choose Brine Over Traditional Road Salt?
Using dry salt for winter road maintenance is the old standard—but it’s also inefficient and increasingly costly. Salt can bounce or be blown off the road before it even has a chance to work. In contrast, salt brine (a simple 23% salt-to-water solution) is sprayed directly onto surfaces, sticks better, and starts melting ice faster.
Here's why so many municipalities, contractors, and facility managers are switching to brine:
- Less product, better coverage
- Lower cost per lane mile
- More consistent results
- Reduces environmental runoff
- Works faster and more effectively than rock salt
