Calcium chloride is the most powerful of all the common deicers used for melting ice and snow on sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, and streets. The exothermic (heat releasing) reaction when calcium chloride goes into solution makes it the de-icer of choice. No other product melts more ice, and melts ice faster than 94% calcium chloride pellets. Calcium chloride has the lowest freezing point and, therefore the lowest effective ice-melting temperature of all the common deicers including sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, and urea.
