Information
De-icing granules are the safe alternative to de-icing salt. De-icing granules are ideally suited to removing and preventing dangerous build-ups of snow and ice. Huchem granules have no harmful effect on materials and are environmentally friendly. Urea de-icing granules work down to a frost temperature of approximately -8 degrees.
