Deicers keep you slip-free during the winter or spring months when frozen water is a constant hazard. Any form of transportation is susceptible to the dangers of ice—walking, driving, even flying. Deicing products come in many different varieties to deal with whatever needs you may have, whether you're melting the ice from sidewalks or off runways.

You can find any ice melting products you need online, from chemical deicers to deicing blankets. Find what you need as quickly as possible by knowing your options before you start searching, including:
  1. Buy liquid and chemical deicers that are designed to be safe on all sidewalk or road materials to avoid future repairs.
  2. Look for industrial deicers for larger projects, such as parking lots or runways.
  3. For smaller projects, avoid liquid deicer and look for aerosol sprays that can prevent icing before it happens.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy non-damaging deicer products


Some liquid and chemical deicers can have a corrosive effect on your sidewalk or road. Find deicer products that offer premium ice melting abilities while avoiding corrosion.

I recommend: Storm Team Liquid Ice Melt from Interstate Products promises protection of even freshly laid cement. This environmentally safe liquid deicer may be applied with any tool that dispenses liquid. Bare Ground sells a full line of deicer products from liquid deicers to deicing salt. Purchase one of their sprayer systems to easily apply deicer to your sidewalks.

Buy industrial deicers for large deicing jobs


For big deicing jobs such as runways, you need a liquid deicer that can be bought in bulk and spread over large areas. Look for a manufacturer of an industrial deicer designed for large projects. Choose a product that will not harm the road surface or the environment.

I recommend: Orison sells IceClear, a runway chemical deicer that is both anti-corrosion and environment-friendly. Buy by the gallon or in bulk for larger needs. Cryotech sells a full line of runway deicing products. Browse their selection to choose the deicer that best fits your needs.

Use aerosol deicers for smaller deicing needs


Removing ice and snow from windows, windshields and car locks can be a long and cold process. Buy aerosol deiciers to target small areas that need ice removal.

I recommend: Interstate Products sells aerosol ice melt that begins to dissolve ice and snow instantly upon spraying. It eliminates the need to scrape windshields and windows. Sprayway Industrial Deicer is another aerosol deicing product that will remove or prevent ice. Spray it immediately before freezing weather arrives to prevent ice from forming.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Deicers are available for standing bodies of water as well as roads and sidewalks. Search for pond deicers or bucket deicers to keep your pools, ponds or water dishes free of ice.
