Sand (Salt Sand)
Applications & Uses
Salt sand is a specialized blend of sand designed primarily for winter maintenance and traction control. Unlike standard construction sand, salt sand is mixed with de-icing salt, making it highly effective for melting ice and providing grip on slippery surfaces during cold weather.
This material's unique attribute-its salt content-ensures that it not only improves traction but also accelerates the melting of snow and ice. This makes salt sand an essential choice for both residential and commercial applications such as driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and roadways during winter months. While it is not typically used for structural or decorative construction projects, its performance in safety and accessibility is unmatched in icy conditions. One consideration is that salt sand is not suitable for landscaping or areas where salt exposure could harm plants or concrete surfaces.
