| SOLUTION: |
WinterGreen® Ice Melt's Patented Formulation. |
|
WINTERGREEN® PELLET ICE MELTER
|
 |
|
WinterGreen® was designed
specifically to combat the problem of grass and vegetation damage.
Through years of research and development, we discovered that
Urea (a well known fertilizer but poor ice melter) and Calcium
Chloride (the highest performing solid de-icer on the market)
were the keys to solving the vegetation issue. |
| |
A simple blend, however, was not the solution. We
tried it! The results were as one would expect - the Calcium Chloride
melted and the Urea didn't do anything under 15°F, solving
none of the vegetation concerns. |
| |
After many trials we found the answer, Our PATENTED
AGGLOMERATION PROCESS held the solution that property
owners, not to mention grass and vegetation had been looking for. |
|

|
OSSIAN'S PATENTED AGGLOMERATION PROCESS: |
| |
We discovered a way to take a Urea
pellet and coat it with Calcium Chloride. This patented agglomeration
process gave a multi-fold solution.
- MELTING POWER - Calcium Chloride attracts moisture
and generates heat as it quickly dissolves into a powerful
de-icing brine. It also triggers the dissolution of
the Urea and allows it to melt at much lower temperatures
and contribute to fast undercutting.
- VEGETATION POWER - The liquid brine runoff,
previously the cause of vegetation damage, now works in our
favor. The combination of Calcium Chloride and Urea in brine
form, converts to a slow release nitrogen fertilizer once
it enters the soil. In an Iowa State University Study, WinterGreen®
was actually found to create a greening effect once the growing
season begins."
