The world's largest salt mine sits beneath Lake Huron in Goderich, Ontario. It was found by accident. In 1866, Sam Platt was drilling for oil. Instead, he hit the first salt bed ever discoverd in North America. The mine is as deep as the CN Tower is tall.

True or False: Once snow has been driven over and packed down into a solid, hard ice layer, standard rock salt will cut through it just as fast as loose snow?

Answer: FALSE.

Traffic on a commercial site rolls over fresh accumulation, it rapidly compresses the snow.

[Draglam Salt @DraglamSalt]

Most rock salt stops working around -15°C. Draglam Treated keeps melting all the way down to -45°C. That's colder than Antarctica's average winter temperature.

Peek behind the curtain. This is how Draglam Treated Salt is made. We start with premium rock salt. Then we add a performance enhancing liquid coating that encapsulates every single grain.

By improving performance at lower application rates, the experiments demonstrated a way to balance safety, efficiency, and environmental awareness long before treated salts became standard.

Urban winter conditions pushed innovation forward in the 1960s. In Montreal, municipal engineers working alongside Canadian researchers, These early trials showed that organic additives helped salt adhere better to surfaces and remain effective longer under traffic. (See Below)

A landmark winter safety study from the Uni of Waterloo examined six winter seasons of crash data across Ontario.
Improving road surface condition with deicing salt reduced collisions by up to 93 percent on roads and boosted surface friction in ways that lowered crash risk.

Salt has been more than a winter tool. Researchers have treated ice and cold weather conditions like a laboratory, experiments on how salt melts ice at different temperatures, how brine spreads, and how combinations like salt and sand improve traction in real conditions.

Salt works faster and more efficiently when it’s mixed with a little sand or grit. This combination allows trucks to spread the material evenly across surfaces, ensuring that every application covers more ground and works harder to manage ice and snow.

@LessMessSoil Bahaha so true!

[Draglam Salt @DraglamSalt]

Salt isn’t just for roads, it’s also used to create high-quality ice for hockey. When Zambonis resurface arenas, small amounts of salt are sometimes added to the water. Salt lowers the freezing point, helping new ice layers freeze evenly and adhere smoothly to the rink surface.

Salt isn’t just for roads, it’s a key tool in creating the perfect ice for winter sports. At ski resorts, small amounts of sodium chloride are used during artificial snowmaking, the salt helps lower the freezing point of water!

Canada began experimenting with road salt for de-icing in the late 1940s, following successful trials in the United States. Early tests showed that salt could effectively reduce ice on winter surfaces, making work sites and projects safer and more manageable.
