CMA

CMA- Calcium Magnesium Acetate is the product of choice and the most recommended for new concrete, structural concrete as found in elevated walkways, parking decks and new construction. CMA has been found to be an effective de-icer and environmentally friendly. When applied to the surfaces, it does not create a flowing brine, but keeps the snow lighter and drier improving traction. Applied early in the storm, CMA prevents the formation of snow-pack and the bonding of ice to the surface, so snow and ice can be removed more easily. Additionally, CMA does not chemically attach concrete nor does it increase spalling caused by the freeze-thaw cycle of water. CMA offers: Low Corrosion - about as corrosive as tap water Excellent Inhibitor - Reduces chloride corrosion Safer for the Environment - Low toxicity and biodegradable Residual Effect - Requires fewer applications
