Brecksville Snow Truck Spreads Brine
March 2002
Why Brine?
Although salt brine's freezing temperature is not as low as calcium
chloride's (salt brine freezes at about -6 degrees Fahrenheit), salt brine has a
much lower freezing temperature than salt alone. In addition, when ice and snow
are gone, salt brine leaves a dry pavement.
The Benefits
The anti-icing technique resulted in clearer pavements, thus improving
motorist safety.
The environment was less affected, as fewer chemicals were used.
