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.

Benefits

  • Less harmful than de-icing salt
    Unlike conventional de-icing salt, these granules contain no aggressive salts or calcium chloride. This makes them gentle on concrete, paving, planting and metal surfaces: ideal for homes, gardens, paths, parking bays and entrances.
  • Effective and long-lasting action
    As soon as the granules come into contact with moisture (ice or snow), a reaction occurs that ensures fast and efficient thawing. The granules also remain active for hours: ideal for days with fluctuating frost or night frosts.
  • Suitable for small-scale & flexible use
    Perfect where gritting lorries cannot reach: think of driveways, footpaths, steps, patios and entrances. A light spread is all it takes.
  • Environmentally & animal-friendly
    Because the granules contain no salt, they are less harmful to nature and safe for pets and plants.
  • Easy to use
    One 25 kg bag is easy to store, quick to spread and sufficient for several surfaces. Ideal for being prepared for winter.

Applications

  • Driveways, pavements and footpaths
  • Patios, steps and garages
  • Car parks and businesses / business premises
  • Gardens, patios and paths around the home or business

Who is it for?

  • Homeowners who want to keep their driveway or patio ice-free without damaging (garden) paving or planting
  • Small businesses, offices or shops with footpaths or parking facilities
  • People with pets or a garden: safe for plants and animals alike
  • Anyone who would rather not use aggressive de-icing salt

Directions for use

  • Spread Huchem Urea De-icing Granules evenly over surfaces covered with snow and/or ice (approx. 1 kg / 5-10 m2).
  • Prevent refreezing by spreading Huchem De-icing Granules preventively (approx. 1 kg / 10-15 m2)
