- Preferred choice of rock salt when heavy snow is predicted or in particularly icy conditions
- Easily visible on white snow and ice so you can see where it has been applied
- Impurities and grit increase traction on slippy roads and footpaths
- Goes through minimal processing
- Meets BS 3247 - the British standard for de-icing salt
- Treated with an anti-caking agent which makes the salt free-flowing and helps prevent it from solidifying outside of the winter season when it is not needed
- Suitable for use in many of our salt spreaders
- Cost-effective option in large volumes
Our 25kg bags of brown rock salt include sand and dirt particles to help the salt stick to the surface, offering excellent friction and traction underfoot on roads, car parks, steps and public walkways. Brown rock salt is particularly suited for larger surface areas and is a cost-effective option in larger volumes compared to white rock salt.
Our rock salt meets BS 3247 which is the British standard for de-icing salt. It is the same quality as used by councils, local authorities and Highways England to ensure high footfall areas are clear of snow and ice.
Brown rock salt goes through minimal processing and works by lowering the freezing point of the surface it is applied to, which helps prevent ice formation.
This winter maintenance product is treated with an anti-caking agent which makes the salt free-flowing and suitable for use in many of our salt spreaders. It also helps to prevent the salt from solidifying during long-term storage.
