CMA
(Calcium Magnesium Acetate)
The Environmentally friendly Ice Melter
In
a continuous effort to offer new products to our customers, we are pleased to
announce the addition of CMA (Calcium Magnesium Acetate) to our family of ice
melting products.
CMA
was developed as an environmentally responsible alternative to road salt. It is
the safest of all ice melting chemicals in regards to vegetation, concrete,
corrosion, and water sources. CMA is a
non-corrosive, biodegradable product that is used by airports, outdoor parking
garages, or anywhere there is exposed steel.
The
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has identified CMA as the only
low-corrosion chemical alternative to road salt that also protected the
environment. Studies have shown that CMA
is no more corrosive than tap water.
How many ice melters can claim that?
In the past decade CMA has
gained popularity as an additive in many popular deicing blends. Its
ability to prevent corrosion, while safe for the environment has made it the
product of choice for blending. Available in 50# bags, CMA is a great addition
to your current line of ice melting products.
Remember, According to Joe
Bastardi, chief meteorologist of Accuweather, “Winter is far from over.” He equates the January thaw we just
experienced as the halftime of a foot ball game. There are two more quarters to go.
