Specialized road salts

Route en hiver - sel déglaçant

As de-icing experts, we guide our customers to the right solution for Quebec winter conditions. Here are our flagship products that meet your needs:

 

Xtragrip

Mixed with abrasive piles, Xtragrip keeps piles malleable in harsh winter conditions. Abrasives treated with Xtragrip liquid also stick to icy surfaces, preventing dispersion towards ditches.

In addition, Xtragrip

  • Is effective at very low temperatures – down to -35 °C.
  • Reduces abrasive loss by 20% thanks to its adherence.
  • Reduces damage to gravel roads in the spring and helps compact roads.

 

Bleu-fuzion

Bleu-Fuzion is a liquid calcium chloride-based de-icer that treats and coats each grain of salt for more efficient, faster ice melting.

In addition, Bleu-Fuzion

  • Performs well down to -25 °C.
  • Significantly reduces salt loss from rebound (20% less dispersion in ditches).
  • Is ideal for harsh or variable weather conditions: cold, accumulations of snow, ice, storms, etc.

 

PM-65

PM-65 is a de-icing mixture that was specially developed for northern regions, to be highly effective on gravel roads and in extreme cold temperatures. Used alone or mixed with your winter abrasive, PM-65 is the ideal de-icer for gravel roads. This fast-acting product melts ice faster than regular de-icing salt. Effective down to -30 °C, PM65 industrial de-icer is composed of a mixture of calcium chloride and sodium chloride.

 

These products were all designed to ensure the safety of heavy vehicles on forestry, mining and construction roads.
