   All that damage starts after ice melts, so adding an ice melter (which is heavy in chemicals such as sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, or other elements) can cause corrosion ...

3. Cement accelerator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_accelerator

   Calcium chloride (CaCl 2) is the most efficient and least expensive accelerator [4] and was formerly very popular. However, chloride anions are very corrosive for the steel of the reinforcement bars (rebars) so its use is no longer recommended [ 5 ] and in many countries actually prohibited.

4. Snow removal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_removal

   De-icing is defined as removal of existing snow, ice or frost from a roadway, airport runway, roof, or other surface. It includes both mechanical means, such as plowing, vacuuming or scraping, and chemical means, such as application of salt or other ice-melting chemicals.

5. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

   Chlorides, particularly calcium chloride, have been used to shorten the setting time of concrete. [5] However, calcium chloride and (to a lesser extent) sodium chloride have been shown to leach calcium hydroxide and cause chemical changes in Portland cement, leading to loss of strength, [6] as well as attacking the steel reinforcement present ...

6. Why salt melts ice — and how to use it on your sidewalk - AOL

   Ice has a semi-liquid surface layer; When you mix salt onto that layer, it slowly lowers its melting point.. The more surface area salt can cover, the better the chances for melting ice.. Ice ...

7. Deicing - Wikipedia

   An Aeroflot Airbus A330 being de-iced at Sheremetyevo International Airport Econ Salt Spreader. De-icing is the process of removing snow, ice or frost from a surface. Anti-icing is the application of chemicals that not only de-ice but also remain on a surface and continue to delay the reformation of ice for a certain period of time, or prevent adhesion of ice to make mechanical removal easier.
