Road Salt

Road salt is a type of salt solution used in regions with heavy snowfall during the winter months. Road salt prevents the complete closure of roads due to heavy snowfall. It melts at the freezing point of water, 0°C (32°F), and even works without freezing at temperatures below 0°C. This ensures that roads remain open during snowy weather, facilitating safe traffic flow.

WHAT IS ROAD SALT?

Road salt is a type of salt regularly used in regions where snowfall is heavy during the winter months. It is used to ensure traffic safety against snow and ice buildup. Road salt has a structure that offers higher resistance than the freezing point of water, effectively melting snow or ice adhered to the road surface, thereby ensuring road safety. The use of road salt has been shown to reduce the risk of traffic accidents by 85%.
