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.
