Road Runner Premium Ice Melt Blend - 40 lb Bag

Fast-Acting Ice Melt for Driveways, Sidewalks & Walkways
Road Runner Premium Ice Melt Blend is a professional-grade, fast-acting ice melting solution designed to quickly and effectively melt ice and snow on driveways, sidewalks, walkways, steps, and parking areas. This 40-pound bag contains a powerful blend of calcium chloride pellets, magnesium chloride pellets, and sodium chloride granules that work together to provide superior melting power in extreme winter conditions down to -15°F.

Premium Triple-Blend Formula

Unlike ordinary rock salt, Road Runner uses a proprietary blend of three powerful ice-melting compounds. Each sodium chloride granule is encapsulated by liquid magnesium chloride, creating a fast-acting, efficient ice control solution. The addition of calcium chloride pellets accelerates the melting process, allowing the product to work faster and at lower temperatures than traditional rock salt alone.

This unique triple-blend formula offers several advantages. The calcium chloride component generates heat upon contact with ice, jump-starting the melting process. The magnesium chloride coating improves adhesion and extends the working time of the product. The sodium chloride base provides cost-effective, long-lasting ice prevention. Together, these three compounds create a synergistic effect that melts ice faster, works longer, and performs better than single-ingredient ice melters.

Ideal Applications

Road Runner Ice Melt is perfect for residential, commercial, and industrial snow and ice control. Use it on:
- Residential driveways and walkways
- Sidewalks and pathways
- Front steps and entryways
- Parking lots and loading docks
- Commercial properties and storefronts
- Municipal sidewalks and public areas
- Emergency access routes
- High-traffic pedestrian areas
- Concrete, asphalt, and paved surfaces

How It Works
The science behind Road Runner's effectiveness is simple but powerful. When the ice melt granules come into contact with ice and snow, they begin dissolving the frozen precipitation through a process called freezing point depression. The calcium chloride generates an exothermic reaction (releases heat), which accelerates melting. The magnesium chloride creates a brine that penetrates ice quickly, while the sodium chloride provides sustained melting action.
This combination allows Road Runner to break the bond between ice and pavement faster than single-ingredient products, making snow and ice removal easier and safer. The result is clear, safe surfaces that stay clear longer.

Environmental Considerations

When used as directed, Road Runner Ice Melt is safer for vegetation, pets, and the environment compared to traditional rock salt. The balanced formula reduces the amount of product needed per application, minimizing environmental impact. The inclusion of a corrosion inhibitor also helps protect metal surfaces, vehicles, and infrastructure from salt damage.

For best results with landscaping, avoid over-application near plants and shrubs. Sweep up excess product after ice has melted to prevent unnecessary contact with vegetation. Always follow label directions for application rates.

Coverage and Application Rate

One 40-pound bag of Road Runner Ice Melt covers approximately 2,000-4,000 square feet, depending on ice severity and temperature conditions. For light ice and snow, use about 2-4 ounces per square yard. For heavy ice or extreme cold, increase application rate to 4-6 ounces per square yard. A small handful is typically sufficient for each application area.

Why Choose Road Runner?

Road Runner has been a trusted name in ice control for decades. Manufactured by Scotwood Industries, a leading producer of ice melt products, Road Runner combines quality ingredients with proven performance. The premium pellet formulation sets it apart from bargain-brand ice melters that use lower-quality ingredients.
Professional contractors, property managers, and homeowners choose Road Runner because it works when you need it most. The fast-acting formula means less waiting for ice to melt, fewer applications throughout the season, and better protection against slip-and-fall accidents. At a competitive price point, Road Runner delivers exceptional value without compromising on performance.
Storage and Handling

Store in a cool, dry location away from moisture. Keep bag sealed when not in use to prevent clumping. The product will remain effective indefinitely when stored properly. If clumping occurs, break up clumps before application or dissolve in warm water and apply as a liquid brine.

Stock up before winter storms hit. Having Road Runner Ice Melt on hand ensures you're ready when winter weather strikes. Order your 40-pound bag today and experience the Road Runner advantage.
