DE-ICING SUPPLIES

What is Rock Salt

Our rock salt is made from sodium chloride.  There are 2 types that we supply, brown or white.  The brown rock salt is commonly used on car parks and places where cleanliness is not so important, whist the white is often used on footpaths near to building entrances.  White rock salt is less likely to stain carpets when walked into premises and offices.

How Does Rock Salt Work

The sodium chloride in the rock salt dissolves into water it separates the water molecules making it difficult for them to bind together to create ice.  If it is put down before a heavy frost or snow, it can prevent the ice forming in the first place.

What Size Packs

Our standard size rock salt is 20KG.  Many rock salt suppliers sell 25KG bags and some only supply it by the pallet.  We supply businesses with single bags of rock salt in Manchester and Cheshire.

Where Do We Deliver To

Octopus deliver using our own vehicles across Greater Manchester and Cheshire from our store in Stockport.  Due to the heavy weight of rock salt, we do not deliver it via courier, so national delivery is not available.
