ICELESS® Ecological snow and ice melter
ICELESS® respects the roads, cars and the environment: the convenience of salt, without its disadvantages!
Salt has always been the solution adopted to deal with the problem of icy roads. But what consequences can salt cause over the winter period?
Salt is a corrosive substance, so the use of large quantities can damage road surfaces, in particular asphalt. This leads every year to the formation of holes in the road and the consequent use of costly additions to maintain and restore the road surface. Salt corrodes metal and so precipitates the formation of rust on car underbodies, alloy wheels and body shells, even damaging the reinforcing bar used in reinforced concrete.
While all local authorities are busy spreading salt to free us from winter's icy grip, some environmentalists are concerned that “road salt is damaging as it has a herbicidal effect, which means that it not only kills grass and weeds, but all vegetable life, including trees”. Salt, indeed, kills plants and damages land by destroying its microflora and microfauna structure; when it then rains, the salt is washed away and ends up polluting the water table.
