Section 6: Recommendations for Use of Dry Chemicals
Timing is Critical
Timing of an initial dry solid chemical application for snowstorm
events is critical. The application should be made as soon as possible
after sufficient precipitation has fallen to prevent loss, but before
ice bonds to the pavement.
Do Not Use As Pretreatment on Dry Pavement
Application of dry solid chemical onto dry pavement is not
recommended, and therefore should not be used as a pretreatment.
