Magic Minus Zero saves money, time
and labor. This patented formula may be applied to your salt
or ours. Magic Minus Zero can be sprayed onto regular rock salt,
transforming it into Magic Salt, a highly effective ice melting
product. By applying Magic Minus Zero directly onto paved surfaces,
ice and snow will not bond, black ice is eliminated, will not
degrade or corrode vehicles, and slip and falls are reduced.
What
is Magic Minus Zero™?
Magic Minus Zero is a highly effective
liquid de-icing agent made from a patented blend of magnesium
chloride combined with an agricultural by-product of the distilling
process (i.e. grain and/or sugar based) and is protected under
U.S. patent #4,676,918. No other liquid ice melter can make
this claim.
Magic Minus Zero is non-toxic, bio-degradable
and has a corrosion index lower than distilled water. Magic Minus
Zero can be applied directly to paved surfaces in advance of a
winter storm, or can be sprayed onto regular rock salt, transforming
it into Magic Salt, a highly effective ice melting product.
Magic Salt is regular rock salt that
has been treated with the liquid Magic Minus Zero.
Magic Salt is safe to use on concrete,
is non-corrosive, does not harm curbside grassed areas or plants,
and continues to melt ice to below -35F°.
The benefits and results of treating
your salt stockpiles or your sand/salt stockpiles with Magic Minus
Zero are amazing.
Features
and Benefits of Magic Minus Zero™
Magic Minus Zero is a proprietary formula
of magnesium chloride combined with an agricultural by-product
of the distilling process (i.e. grain and/or sugar based) and
is protected under U.S. patent #4,676,918. No other liquid
ice melter can make this claim.
Magic Minus Zero can be applied directly to paved
surfaces in advance of a winter storm and the following results
will occur:
- Black ice is eliminated.
- Because of its residual effect, snow and ice
will not bond to paved surfaces.
- It melts faster.
- It works longer.
- It is environmentally friendlier.
- It is less corrosive than distilled water.
- It is DEC approved.
- It is safe for concrete parking structures.
- It even neutralizes rust!
Magic Minus Zero saves money, time and labor.
Application
Methods for Magic Minus Zero™
Magic Minus Zero is used extensively on the
New York State Thruway system and the Garden State Parkway (New
Jersey) as an anti-icing agent.
Magic Minus Zero is applied using a spray tank system
with a spray bar. There are two types of spray patterns which
are used, depending on traffic flow and desired effect.
When correctly applied prior to the snow or ice
storm event, Magic Minus Zero prevents snow and ice from bonding
to the pavement. Plowing removes all packed snow and ice.
Black ice cannot form, as long as there is no major run off.
Magic Minus Zero will not harm vehicles or any type
of pavement and is environmentally much friendlier than traditional
methods and materials.
These significant benefits must be considered
only in terms of the substantial commitment to training crews,
use of precise temperature monitoring equipment, and careful application.
Our tank/spray system easily converts from anti-icing
to de-icing.
Ordinary rock salt is transformed when
treated with Magic Minus Zero. Hard pack and bonded ice are quickly
eliminated from paved surfaces. Watch
a video of Magic -0 being applied to rock salt.
Even though rock salt eventually dissolves in the
melting process, the Magic Minus Zero remains in the pavement
surface and will prevent black ice from forming.
This will continue until it is diluted by run-off
or precipitation. The treatment process is accomplished by pre-treating
stockpiles of rock salt or salt/sand or all sand.
- Application Rates: Between 8 gallons/ton for
all rock salt and up to 10 gallons/tons for all sand stockpiles.
Rates will vary for mixed stockpiles depending on the sand/salt
ratio.
- General Procedures: We bring our tank and spray
unit to your stockpile. You will provide a loader and operator
to turn the stockpile as the Magic Minus Zero is being applied.
This is required to ensure uniform treatment of the entire stockpile.
- Application Time: Estimated 30 minutes for a
25 ton pile (typical tri-axle truckload), start to finish.
Magic Minus Zero is an effective on-board pre-wetting agent for
rock salt or salt/sand or all sand. It is safer on concrete
than traditional Ice Melters, and reduces damage to curbside grassed
areas or plants, and continues to melt ice to below -35F.
- Application Rates: Varies depending on your system
and requires some experimentation to properly monitor applications.
- General Procedures: Magic Minus Zero can be used
in any on-board system. However, because of its viscosity, all
filters and screens must be removed from your system; otherwise
clogging may occur. It is completely safe to handle and unlike
typical on-board liquid chemicals, it will not corrode or degrade
mechanical or electrical components on your vehicle or equipment.
Magic Minus Zero is available for purchase
in several different ways.
- Pre-Treating of Stockpiles: Our spray tank unit
comes to you. You provide loader and operator.
- Bulk: Magic Minus Zero is most economically shipped
in semi-trailer tankers (4500 gallons), although smaller quantities
are also available. We deliver to your tank.
