The Smart Economics of Bulk Brine De-Icing

Maximum Performance, Minimum Cost

IceThaw Brine IBC represents the intersection of effectiveness and economy in professional winter maintenance. This 1000L bulk format delivers:

• Lowest Cost Per Square Metre - Up to 60% savings versus traditional rock salt
• 50x Volume Efficiency - One IBC replaces 50 x 20L containers
• Dramatic Per-Litre Savings - Bulk pricing for maximum value
• Reduced Application Costs - Liquid brine uses 30% less material than solid salt
• Zero Waste Formula - No bounce, scatter, or tracking losses
• Professional Results - Commercial-grade performance at economy prices

The Science Behind Salt Brine Efficiency

Salt brine technology delivers superior value through enhanced efficiency:

Immediate Activation Pre-dissolved salt begins working instantly, unlike rock salt which requires moisture activation, reducing required application rates by up to 30%.

Complete Surface Contact Liquid format ensures 100% surface adhesion with no material loss from wind, traffic, or bounce - every litre works exactly where applied.

Preventative Economy Anti-icing with brine prevents ice bonding at just 20-30ml per m², compared to 50-100g per m² for reactive rock salt treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is brine de-icer really more economical than rock salt?

Yes, significantly. While the initial investment may seem higher, salt brine delivers 30-50% cost savings through reduced material usage, lower application costs, zero waste, and decreased labour requirements. Most organisations see ROI within one season.

How much area will one IBC cover?

Coverage depends on conditions and application type. For preventative anti-icing, one IBC covers 30,000-50,000m². For de-icing established ice, expect 10,000-15,000m² coverage. This far exceeds rock salt efficiency.

What equipment do I need to apply IBC brine?

Basic application requires only a pump and spray equipment. We can recommend suitable options from our industrial and commercial equipment range to match your budget and scale.

How does brine compare to IceThaw Ultra?

IceThaw Brine offers excellent performance at economical prices, ideal for standard applications. IceThaw Ultra provides additional low-corrosive properties for sensitive environments at premium pricing. Choose based on your specific needs and budget.

Can I dilute the brine for lighter conditions?

IceThaw Brine is optimally concentrated at 23.3% for maximum effectiveness. Dilution reduces performance and isn't recommended - the ready-mixed formula ensures consistent results.

What's the shelf life of IBC brine?

Properly stored IceThaw Brine IBC maintains effectiveness for 24+ months. The stable liquid formula doesn't degrade like solid salt, providing reliable long-term value.

Is forklift access required for delivery?

Yes, IBC delivery requires mechanical handling on site. If you lack forklift access, contact us to discuss alternative arrangements.

Do you offer seasonal contracts?

Absolutely. Seasonal contracts provide guaranteed supply, locked pricing, and scheduled deliveries. Contact our team for customised agreements.
