Magic Minus Zero
What is Magic Minus Zero anyway?
Magic Minus Zero is a highly effective liquid de-icing agent made from a patented blend of magnesium chloride combined with an agricultural by-product of the distilling process (i.e. grain and/or sugar based) and is protected under U.S. patent #4,676,918. No other liquid ice melter can make this claim.
Magic Minus Zero is non-toxic, bio-degradable and has a corrosion index lower than distilled water.
Magic Minus Zero can be applied directly to paved surfaces in advance of a winter storm, or can be sprayed onto regular rock salt, transforming it into Magic Salt, a highly effective ice melting product.
Magic Saltis regular rock salt that has been treated with the liquid Magic Minus Zero.
Magic Salt is safe to use on concrete, is non-corrosive, does not harm curbside grassed areas or plants, and continues to melt ice to below -35F.
The benefits and results of treating your salt stockpiles or your sand/salt stockpiles with Magic Minus Zero are amazing.
Magic Minus Zero can be applied directly to paved surfaces in advance of a winter storm and the following results will occur:
De-Icing
Ordinary rock salt is transformed when treated with Magic Minus Zero. Hard pack and bonded ice are quickly eliminated from paved surfaces.
Even though rock salt eventually dissolves in the melting process, the Magic Minus Zero remains in the pavement surface and will prevent black ice from forming.
This will continue until it is diluted by run-off or precipitation. The treatment process is accomplished by pre-treating stockpiles of rock salt or salt/sand or all sand.
Application Rates: Between 8 gallons/ton for all rock salt and up to 10 gallons/tons for all sand stockpiles. Rates will vary for mixed stockpiles depending on the sand/salt ratio.
General Procedures: We bring our tank and spray unit to your stockpile. You will provide a loader and operator to turn the stockpile as theMagic Minus Zero is being applied. This is required to ensure uniform treatment of the entire stockpile.
Application Time: Estimated 30 minutes for a 25 ton pile (typical tri-axle truckload, start to finish).
Magic Minus Zero is available for purchase in several different ways.
