For Contractors

Our parking lot treated with Ice B’Gone Magic has melted down to pavement. Note the lot across the street was untreated and is still snow covered.

General Usage

Use of Ice B’Gone Magic exclusively results in substantial reduction of the volume of material required for de-icing applications.

Twice as much ordinary rock salt is required to produce the same effects.
Three times (or more) as much sand/salt (60/40) mix is required to equal Ice B’Gone Magic.

These major reductions in material more than compensate for the premium price Ice B’Gone Magic commands.

Bulk Ice B’Gone Magic prices are typically 30% to 40% more than ordinary rock salt, although only half as much is required.
Bulk Ice B’Gone Magic usually costs about twice as much as a decent sand/salt mix, but only one third as much is needed to produce the same effect.
Specific Benefit Examples

In addition to these material volume cost advantages, Ice B’Gone Magic offers distinct benefits to every snow removal contractor, large or small and regardless of whether services are billed hourly, per visit or flat rate/seasonal.
- Contractors who bill hourly or per visit will especially benefit by shutting spreader gates to one third normal. Since less material is used, fewer refill trips are required. Fewer refill trips save time and fuel.
- Ice B’Gone Magic turns brown, which means the customer can see material being applied.
- Flat rate contractors will make fewer visits.
- Apply a medium/heavy application of Ice B’Gone Magic during snow flurries or light snow events, and watch the Snow “burn off” with no plowing. Customers don’t care how you do it or how long it takes, they just want to see clear pavement.
- By eliminating the use of sand, every contractor will realize great savings from reduced spring clean-up costs. In the meantime customers will appreciate the absence of sand tracked into buildings and cars.
- Contractor equipment will last much longer and with less maintenance expense without the extreme corrosiveness of rock salt and frictional damage from sand on chains, bearings, etc.
- Ice B’Gone Magic will not harm grassed areas or horticulture when applied correctly. Therefore, incidental damage to customer’s property is dramatically reduced.
Salt stockpile spraying is also available.

Summary: Bulk Ice B’Gone Magic is a cost effective material for every snow removal contractor. It is less corrosive, safer for concrete and brick, and Ice B’Gone Magic is environmentally friendlier.
