Use of Salt Treatment

The EPA recently recognized SEACO’s “Ice B’Gone” salt treatment product with it's distinguished DfE

(Design for Environment) Award. The University is using this product for road de-icing. SEACO uses only organic, agriculture-based ingredients which are then blended with chloride salts and applied to ice and snow-covered roadways. These patented de-icing products are considered environmentally gentle because they are biodegradable and

contribute to a 30% reduction in salt use as well as a 70% reduction in corrosion to bridges, roadway surfaces, equipment and vehicles. The blended product works much longer and in significantly lower temperatures than untreated salt, resulting in reduced salt use.
