IMPROVED SNOW AND ICE-MELTING GRANULES AND METHOD FOR PREPARING SAME

摘要

Snow and ice−melting granules prepared from compacted blends of salts of alkali and/or alkaline earth metals and a method for preparing such granules,are provided.The inventive granules have improved mechanical properties and,as such,are not readily reduced to a powder when subjected to mechanical loadings during transit and storage.In a preferred embodiment,the inventive granules employ one or more corrosion inhibitors homogeneously distributed throughout the granules.
