Sure Paws Usage

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

Use ¼ cup (2 ounces) per square yard of Safe Step Sure Paws and spread evenly, avoiding piling or overspreading. Remove resulting slush. Reapply ice melter as needed.

WARNING LABEL:

All deicers can accelerate surface damage to concrete, since they increase the number of freeze-thaw cycles. Poor quality concrete is especially susceptible to damage. However, the hazards associated with slippery surfaces must be weighed against the potential for surface damage. Use this product only on good quality, air-entrained concrete for cold weather climates. Do not use on concrete that is less than one year old, has exposed aggregate, is precast, stamped, pre-stressed, chipped, cracked, spalled or weathered; or on stone, brick, mortar joints or wood. Not intended for melting ice on roofs, gutters or in downspouts. THIS PRODUCT IS USED AT THE USER’S OWN RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE FROM ITS USE, STORAGE OR HANDLING.

STORAGE: Store unused product in a dry area; seal container tightly. Do not store where leaking of contents could cause damage.

FOR ICE MELTING USE ONLY. Do not take internally. Handle with care and avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing dust. Wash thoroughly after handling. STORE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.

FIRST AID: Rinse skin thoroughly or immediately flush eye(s) with water in case of contact with product. If ingested, rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Seek medical attention if irritation or discomfort persists.

FAQs:

Ice melters differ in their ingredients, how the ingredients are combined and the ingredients’ performance characteristics. There are three main types of ice melters: single ingredient, simple blend and manufactured product. A single ingredient product is exactly what it sounds like — it contains only one ingredient. A simple blend contains particles of more than one ingredient all mixed together in one bag. A manufactured product consists of multiple ingredients all processed together, so that each particle contains all of the ingredients.
Yes. Small particles melt quickly, but may dissolve before they penetrate the ice. Large particles are more likely to penetrate the ice, but they may not completely dissolve or create a brine solution. Also, pellet- and flake-shaped products can roll and blow away more easily than granules and crystals. Medium-sized granules stay put, melt ice and snow and then resist refreezing longer. Crystal shapes provide rapid ice penetration and prevent product from scattering where you don't need it.
Like anything else in this world, too much of one thing is not always good. If too much ice melter falls on or near vegetation, that vegetation may have a hard time absorbing other nutrients it needs. Some ice melters can burn or kill grass on contact. Others use ingredients that are actually beneficial to plants. So, it’s really a matter of what ice melter is used and how it’s applied that determines how the vegetation is affected. When choosing an ice melter, look for one that is safer on skin and gentler on pets, plants, concrete or carpets.
All ice melters have the potential to accelerate the freeze-thaw cycle, the natural enemy of concrete. Lower quality concrete materials are more prone to damage. To reduce potential concrete damage, immediately remove slush that forms from the melted snow and ice.
Products like Safe Step 6300 Enviro-Blend, Mag Chloride 8300 and Sure Paws are safer for use around pets when applied as directed. However, like many things, ice melters can have ill effects in excessive amounts.
No. Some ice melters may damage roofing materials, corrode roofing nails, and therefore destabilize a roof’s structural integrity. Ice melters may also cause pitting of aluminum gutters and downspouts. In addition, the runoff of the brine solution created by the ice melter may lead to damage of surrounding concrete surfaces and vegetation.
Sodium chloride products have an infinite shelf life, although, relative humidity and temperature can promote clumping. Hygroscopic products, those containing calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, have a shorter shelf life when not stored properly.
