Rock Salt

Supplied in 20kg bags.

Grit, also known as grit salt or road salt, is a granular material used for de-icing and providing traction on icy surfaces. It is a blend of rock salt or sodium chloride and other granular materials, such as sand or abrasive particles.

Grit is specifically designed to combat icy conditions during winter. When spread on roads, walkways, and driveways, it helps to melt ice and compacted snow, preventing them from becoming slippery hazards. The granular texture of grit provides traction for vehicles and pedestrians, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring safe passage.

The combination of rock salt and other granular materials in grit provides multiple benefits. The rock salt helps to lower the freezing point of water, melting ice and preventing re-freezing. The added sand or abrasive particles enhance traction and grip on slippery surfaces, making it easier to navigate.
