Don’t fight winter weather alone, Scotts® Ice Melt with Heat Lock™ Technology is your secret winter weapon. With 4X the melting capacity and 2x the coverage of rock salt, you can use only what you need. The Heat Lock™ Technology Coating keeps hands and paws protected from the calcium chloride core during application while the non-staining formula reduces the potential for damage to your drive and walkways. Apply before, or soon after, the snow starts to fall for the best results, but Scotts® Ice Melt can penetrate ice, even at -25 degrees F. Scotts® Ice Melt is tough on ice, but easy on everything else.
