ClearLane® enhanced deicer is a pre-wet sodium chloride made from a patented liquid magnesium chloride formula and mixing process. Combined with pre-wetting and deicing agents, including a PNS-approved corrosion inhibitor, a coloring agent, and a leaching inhibitor, ClearLane® enhanced deicer is a superior deicer for effective winter road maintenance that’s anti-corrosive, better for the environment than traditional road salt and an alternative to road salt.

New Formulation. Design for the Environment.

The newly formulated ClearLane® enhanced deicer carries the distinguished Design for the Environment (DfE) label, granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This distinction is only allotted to products deemed safer when compared to other chemicals in their class.

Less scatter. Less cost. 

When salt hits the road from application trucks, it often bounces to the edges of the pavement. Traffic action also contributes to the scattering effect. With ClearLane® enhanced deicer the patented liquid treatment helps the product adhere to the road surface better.

Lab tests show, 80% of ClearLane® enhanced deicer stays within 18 inches of where it lands as opposed to 51% of bulk deicing salt. That means you get less bounce and less scatter, which translates to fewer applications, less product use and less overall cost.

Reduced corrosion. Longer equipment life. 

Harmful rust and corrosion that results from extensive salt use often diminishes the life of application equipment. The patented PNS-approved corrosion inhibitor found in ClearLane® enhanced deicer is better than traditional road salt for your fleet, helping extend the life of your application vehicles.

Less chloride. More green friendly. 

Plain and simple, ClearLane® enhanced deicer is better for the environment, when compared to agricultural by-products and rock salt. Because the same deicing effect is achieved using 30% less product when compared to regular rock salt, spreading less product on the road means fewer chlorides in the environment.

Same Performance. Safer for the Environment.

As a ClearLane® enhanced deicer consumer you rely on the significant advantages this product offers when compared to regular rock salt. The first and foremost of these benefits is safer roads – but the advantages go beyond safety. The ClearLane® product can also improve your bottom line by reducing product usage, labor and equipment costs, and decreasing environmental impact – now more than ever before.

The new formulation of the ClearLane® product offers the same effective snow fighting characteristics you depend on while utilizing safer chemical ingredients that are more environmentally friendly.

Effective melting. Lower temperatures. 

Salt loses much of its effectiveness when temperatures dip below 15°F. Customers are finding that ClearLane® enhanced deicer, however, continues melting ice when temps reach below zero. That means increased safety and peace of mind for municipalities and motorists alike.

ClearLane® enhanced deicer also results in less B.O.D. and phosphorous when compared to by-products, making for significantly less environmental impact on watersheds. The result? An effective, more eco-friendly deicer.

Free-flowing. Even in cold temps. 

ClearLane® enhanced deicer is specially formulated to help the product stay free-flowing. Whether you’re applying in freezing temperatures or storing ClearLane® enhanced deicer in a shed over the summer, the patented liquid treatment helps prevent the frustrating clumps, lumps and crust formations often experienced with salt.

Pre-mixed. Delivered direct. 

Forget about treating your own salt. With ClearLane® enhanced deicer, our patented mixing process and unique treatment formula creates a thoroughly blended, non-leaching deicer with a uniform liquid level throughout the product. As a result, there’s no need to invest in your own liquid treatment system, a practice that can be time-consuming, messy and costly. Plus, we’ll deliver ClearLane® enhanced deicer directly to your facility, ready to go. It’s that simple.
