- 1). Take hot water and rock salt in a ratio of 3-to-1. Hot water increases the solubility of the salt and more salt can be dissolved at quicker rate. High concentration of salt in the brine enables better deicing.
- 2). Mix the salt and the water in a bucket and stir the solution with a wood stick to dissolve all the salt in the water. Continually stir the solution. For better action of the brine solution on ice, additives like calcium chloride, urea, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium magnesium acetate can also be mixed in the solution along with rock salt. Generally most of the deicer products have a fraction of all these deicing agents.
- 3). Apply the prepared solution on the concrete for anti-icing. Pre-wet the concrete to prevent ice from bonding to the concrete. For deicing, spread the solution on ice and wait for some time. Ice will slowly break into fragments and dissolve.
