Bunzl Canada Provides Guidance on Ice Melt Application

Bunzl Canada has released information detailing best practices for applying ice melt products during winter maintenance. The company highlights the importance of these products for facility safety, emphasizing their role in de-icing surfaces and preventing ice formation.

The guidance advises users to mix ice melt with sand to extend its effectiveness and provide additional traction. It also stresses the need for cleanup of excess product to prevent environmental damage and proper disposal. Keeping ice melt away from children and pets is recommended due to potential skin irritation or illness if ingested or contacted.

Bunzl Canada suggests using ice melt only when temperatures are expected to drop below freezing. The company cautions against overuse, stating it does not improve performance, increases costs, and negatively impacts the environment. Users are encouraged to refer to product labels or Safety Data Sheets for recommended quantities.

The company advises facilities to consult with their sales representative to ensure they select the most appropriate ice melt product for their specific needs. These guidelines aim to promote safe and responsible winter maintenance practices.
