Sand (3/16″ Minus, Ice Control)

Sand in a 3/16" minus size range, specifically graded for ice control, is a finely crushed aggregate designed to improve traction on icy surfaces. The "minus" designation means the particles are 3/16 inch and smaller, resulting in a blend of coarse grains and fine particles. This gradation is ideal for maximizing surface coverage and grip, making it highly effective for winter safety.
