Deicing agent granules are granular snow removal products produced through a specialized granulation process. Their optimized form significantly improves ease of use, performance stability, and environmental friendliness compared to traditional powdered deicing agents, making them a mainstream choice for modern snow removal operations.
Deicing agents are primarily categorized into two types: chloride-based deicing agents (such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride) and non-chloride-based deicing agents (such as potassium acetate and propylene glycol).
Common Granulation Methods
Most deicing agent granules are irregularly spherical or cylindrical, 2-5 mm in diameter, with a smooth surface and moderate hardness. This structure is typically derived from the extrusion granulation process.

Production Process
Raw material collection and pretreatment → Fermentation and decomposition → Crushing and screening → Ingredient mixing → Granulation → Drying and cooling → Screening and packaging
De-icing agent features
Fast and efficient snow melting: Rapidly lowers the freezing point of ice and snow, taking effect in 30 minutes at -5°C, and clearing over 50% of accumulated snow in 1-2 hours.
Widely applicable: Can be spread manually or mechanically, suitable for roads, airports, and other locations, and supports pre-spreading to prevent freezing.
Significant cost differences: Chloride salts are inexpensive and suitable for large-scale use, while environmentally friendly salts are more expensive but less corrosive. Choose according to your needs.
A balance must be struck between environmental protection and environmental performance: Excessive use can have ecological impacts. Currently, low-dose, scientific spreading and the use of synergists are more commonly used to minimize these risks.
