Liquid Treatment

Our liquid treatment results in better pavement conditions, less chemical usage, longer application results, and lower costs. There are two treatment types – proactive and reactive:

Proactive – Spreading materials before or during the early stage of the storm – prevents frost formation and snow and ice from bonding to the road

Reactive – Spreading material after storm starts and snow accumulates – allows bonding of snow and ice to road surface causing use of more salt and more time to break the bond and achieve melting
