Split Open and Melt Calcium Chloride Ice Melter Pellets 25 lb — Fast-Acting, Works to -25°F

Split Open and Melt Calcium Chloride Pellets is a high-performance 25 lb ice melter formulated to dissolve snow and ice rapidly, working at temperatures down to -25°F (-32°C).

When winter conditions make walkways, driveways and entryways hazardous, this calcium chloride pellet formulation delivers accelerated melting by generating heat on contact. Designed to outperform traditional rock salt and many alternative deicers, these pellets are engineered for quick action, reduced re-freeze, and reliable performance in very low temperatures. The 25-pound bag provides a balance of coverage and portability for homeowners, property managers, and maintenance crews.

How does this ice melter perform in extreme cold?

Calcium chloride pellets depress the freezing point of water more effectively than sodium chloride, allowing them to melt ice at much lower temperatures. These pellets release heat when they dissolve, speeding up ice breakdown and helping prevent re-freezing in frigid conditions.

• Effective down to -25°F (-32°C)
• Generates heat on contact to accelerate melting
• Works faster than rock salt, potassium chloride, or urea

Where can I safely use these pellets around my property?

Split Open and Melt calcium chloride pellets are intended for use on hard surfaces where ice and snow create slipping hazards. Apply them sparingly on walkways, driveways, steps and ramps to clear ice while avoiding unnecessary contact with landscaping and delicate surfaces.

• Suitable for sidewalks, entryways, loading docks and ramps
• Not recommended for direct use on plants—use targeted application to limit runoff
• Use appropriate spreaders or hand-apply with gloves for controlled distribution

How should I apply and store the pellets for best results?

For optimal performance, spread an even layer over icy areas, focusing on high-traffic paths. Allow the pellets time to dissolve and break through ice; sweep or shovel away slush and residual material once melting is complete. Store the sealed bag in a cool, dry place to prevent caking and moisture absorption.

• Apply at recommended rates for thin or heavy ice build-up
• Store indoors or under cover to maintain free-flowing pellets
• Wear gloves and eye protection during handling to avoid irritation

Will this product damage concrete, metal, or pets?

Calcium chloride is corrosive to some metals and can contribute to concrete surface scaling if used excessively. When applied as directed and in reasonable amounts, it minimizes damage risks. Keep pets away from treated areas until pellets have dissolved and any residue is rinsed or removed.

• Can accelerate corrosion on untreated metal—avoid direct contact
• Use conservative application rates on concrete to reduce scaling risk
• Protect pets by preventing access to fresh applications and wiping paws after contact

Who is this for: Split Open and Melt Calcium Chloride Pellets (25 lbs) is intended for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and small commercial maintenance teams who need a potent, low-temperature ice melter. It suits anyone who requires quicker melt times than rock salt can deliver and who is prepared to apply and store the product responsibly to protect landscaping, concrete and metal surfaces.
