Snow & Ice Management -
Protect Equipment from Road Salt Damage
De-icing chemicals destroy snow plows, salt spreaders, and removal equipment faster than the winter itself. Salts Gone® eliminates salt and chemical residue at a molecular level — extending equipment life and reducing costly replacements.
The Ultimate Salt Protection for Snow Removal Equipment
Snow and ice management equipment endures the harshest chemical exposure of any industry. Road salt, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and beet juice blends corrode hydraulic systems, electrical connections, vehicle bodies, and spreader mechanisms from the inside out. Salts Gone® uses chelation technology to break the ionic bond between corrosive salt ions — eliminating de-icing chemical residue at a molecular level instead of just rinsing it off the surface.
How Salts Gone® Protects Snow Removal Equipment
Our three-part formula targets de-icing chemical contamination at every level — from corrosive ions embedded in metal to residue on surfaces.
Chelating Agents
Our formula bonds to sodium, chlorine, calcium, and magnesium ions on contact — the core corrosive components in road salt, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride blends. Once chelated, these ions cannot reform into corrosive compounds or reattach to equipment surfaces.
Corrosion Inhibitors
Built-in corrosion inhibitors help neutralize salt and brine on metal surfaces — reducing ongoing oxidation and chemical attack on hydraulic fittings, electrical connections, plow frames, and spreader mechanisms between treatments.
Premium Surfactants
Advanced surfactants reduce surface friction and lift embedded salt deposits, calcium chloride residue, and brine film from every surface — including hard-to-reach crevices in hydraulic assemblies and electrical housings. Contaminants rinse away easily, leaving equipment clean without damaging paint or coatings.
Why De-Icing Chemicals Destroy Snow Removal Equipment — And How to Stop It
Snow and ice management is one of the most chemically punishing industries for equipment. Every storm cycle exposes plows, spreaders, loaders, and trucks to thousands of pounds of road salt, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and increasingly popular beet juice blends. These de-icing chemicals don't just sit on the surface — they penetrate metal pores, coat electrical connections, and saturate hydraulic fittings with corrosive ions that accelerate rust and mechanical failure.
The financial impact is staggering. Municipal fleets and snow removal contractors routinely lose trucks, plows, and spreaders years before their expected service life due to unchecked salt corrosion. Hydraulic line failures, corroded electrical harnesses, rotted frames, and seized spreader mechanisms are the leading causes of mid-season equipment downtime — all directly caused by de-icing chemical residue.
The Problem With Water-Only Washdowns
Most operators rinse equipment with water after a storm. While this removes visible salt and slush, it does nothing to address the corrosive ions already embedded in metal surfaces, wiring harnesses, and hydraulic assemblies. As rinse water evaporates, dissolved salt recrystallizes on the equipment — restarting the corrosion cycle. Calcium chloride and magnesium chloride are especially damaging because they are hygroscopic, meaning they attract moisture from the air and keep surfaces wet long after treatment, accelerating corrosion around the clock.
How Salts Gone® Protects Your Fleet
Salts Gone® uses chelation chemistry to permanently break the ionic bonds in salt and de-icing chemical residue. The formula targets sodium, chlorine, calcium, and magnesium ions individually — neutralizing every major corrosive agent used in winter maintenance. Once chelated, these ions cannot recombine or reattach to equipment surfaces, permanently ending the corrosion cycle after each application.
Post-Storm Equipment Maintenance Routine
- Hose-end sprayer: Attach the 32 oz Salts Gone® sprayer to any garden hose. It automatically mixes at the optimal 1:100 ratio. Spray down plow frames, spreader beds, truck bodies, undercarriages, and wheel assemblies.
- Pressure washer: Use a downstream injector to apply Salts Gone® concentrate through your pressure washer for heavy-duty fleet decontamination. Ideal for reaching hydraulic lines, electrical housings, and enclosed undercarriage cavities.
- Gallon concentrate: Mix at 1:100 in bulk sprayers for large municipal fleets, loader buckets, and brine sprayer tanks. One gallon makes 100 gallons of working solution.
- Spot treatment: Mix in a spray bottle at 1:100 for targeted treatment of electrical connections, hydraulic fittings, control boxes, and spreader auger assemblies.
Protect Shop Floors and Storage Facilities
Salt contamination doesn't stop at your equipment. Shop floors, maintenance bays, and equipment storage yards accumulate corrosive salt residue that damages concrete, eats into stored components, and creates unsafe slippery conditions for workers. Salts Gone® neutralizes salt buildup on shop floors and concrete pads, preventing long-term surface degradation and keeping maintenance facilities clean and safe.
For maximum equipment protection, apply Salts Gone® after every storm event — ideally before equipment is parked for storage. Regular use throughout the season prevents cumulative salt buildup, dramatically reducing corrosion-related repairs and extending the service life of plows, spreaders, trucks, and loaders by years.
