Traditional rock salt is exothermic — it releases heat as it reacts, which is part of why it eats away at concrete, asphalt and plant roots over a season. Ice Burner Premium is a commercial-grade ice melter built as a 3-way blend of sodium chloride, Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) and magnesium chloride, giving you a faster-acting, longer-lasting de-icer than straight rock salt.
That's why Ice Burner Premium is the pet-friendly, concrete-safe ice melter most property managers and facility teams choose for walkways, entrances and any surface where pets, plants or finished concrete are a concern.
| Property | Rock salt | Ice Burner Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Reaction type | Exothermic | Endothermic (CMA) |
| Gentler for nature | — | By design |
| Concrete-safe | — | Lower corrosion |
| Green space impact | Higher | Lower |
| Bulk supply | Yes | Yes |
Not every surface needs the same de-icer. Here's how facility and property teams typically match an ice melter to the job before placing a bulk order.
New or finished concrete, interlocking pavers and painted walkways generally call for a lower-corrosion ice melter such as Ice Burner Premium. Older asphalt lots and municipal routes can typically handle a treated or standard-grade ice melt.
Entrances, walkways and common areas used by the public — including spots pets frequent — benefit from a gentler ice melter. Back-of-house loading areas and vehicle routes are better suited to higher-volume, cost-focused formulas.
Keep a lighter-duty ice melter on hand for shoulder-season frost, and stock up on your heavy-duty formula ahead of severe cold snaps so crews aren't caught short mid-storm.

It's a 3-way blend enriched with Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) and magnesium chloride. CMA is endothermic, meaning it draws in moisture to lower the freezing point rather than releasing heat. The blend is effective to -23°C and causes less damage to concrete, asphalt and green space than straight rock salt.
It's formulated to be gentler than straight rock salt, which is why many customers choose it for walkways, parking lots and common areas where pets are present. As with any de-icer, follow the product label and keep pets clear of freshly applied product.
