The Professionals’ Choice for Ice and Snow Melting
SnowClear Ice Melting Compound is a non-salt, heat-generating de-icer that clears ice, snow and sleet from paths, driveways, roads, runways and steps — up to eight times faster than rock salt, with no gritty residue left behind.
Because this exothermic rock salt alternative generates its own heat as it works, it keeps melting long after other methods have stopped and will not re-freeze. Use it before ice and snow are imminent, or straight onto existing snow and ice.
Why choose SnowClear Ice Melting Compound?
- Up to 8× faster than rock salt — and leaves no unsightly grit or residue
- Exothermic formula — generates heat to melt ice, snow and sleet quickly
- Effective down to −59°C — will not re-freeze
- Keeps working long after rock salt has stopped
- Non-toxic to humans and animals when used as directed, and fully biodegradable
- Surface safe — will not damage grass, concrete, metal or wood, and is safe on metal fire escapes
- Indoor safe — will not damage indoor surfaces if trodden indoors
- Lightweight and easy to apply — by hand or with a spreader
- Can be used pre-emptively — apply before ice and snow are due
In our opinion this is one of the best de-icers on the market — and a simple way to avoid accidents, injuries and costly liability claims.
Where to use SnowClear De-Icer
Paths and walkways, driveways, roads, runways, steps, loading bays, parking bays, yards and metal fire escapes — anywhere you need ice and snow cleared quickly and safely.
How to use SnowClear De-Icer
- Apply SnowClear De-Icer evenly by hand or with a spreader.
- For best results, apply before snow or ice is forecast to stop ice bonding to the surface.
- On existing snow and ice, apply and let the exothermic reaction melt through.
- Re-apply after heavy snowfall or rain if required, and store the tub in a dry place.

Customer testimonials
“I would highly recommend Snow Clear…”
“I bought a container of Snow Clear over a year ago and have waited all this time to try it out. Up until now we have used rock salt which it has to be said does melt snow and ice very quickly and is cheap to buy. But Snow Clear has hidden advantages that can save valuable time, and in the long run, money. It comes in a plastic tub that makes storage easy and clean. No open bags spilling on the floor.
On the first day of snow I put down the Snow Clear and waited. It melted the snow as quickly as rock salt, but unlike rock salt it left no unsightly grit on the ground. But it was not until the following day when I went out to re-grit the paths that I realised the biggest benefit of Snow Clear. It was still working from the previous day preventing the paths from re-freezing overnight. In fact it lasted three days and would probably have continued to work had it not rained and washed it away. This product has saved me hours of re-gritting each day, which in a school is valuable time spent elsewhere. I would highly recommend Snow Clear to anyone who hates the daily chore of gritting paths during the winter months.”

“It has proved to be most efficient and money well spent product.”
“Just wanted to thank you for your help and great service which you have provided last year. Also need to mention how satisfied we are with your products and that’s mainly Snow Clear which we are using on the park. It has proved to be most efficient and money well spent product. It is great material to use on any surface and therefore the right one for the Stockley Park and its high demanding client and tenants. I am looking forward to continue in our good working relationship.”
