The HLF Diversified Natural Choice ice melter clears ice from entrances, sidewalks, outdoor stairs and parking lots down to -26 °C (-14.8 °F), much colder than ordinary salt. The manufacturer describes it as an eco-friendly, all-natural ice melter: an organic additive improves its performance and also acts as a corrosion inhibitor to reduce metal fatigue. Its green marker makes spreading visible, which helps you apply the right amount and limit the environmental impact. It is sold in a 20 kg bag.
