How to Store Calcium Chloride Ice Melt Products

If you want to be able to take advantage of your leftover Calcium Chloride products, you need to be sure you properly store your excess products to preserve their effectiveness. Chloride products are best stored in a temperature-controlled environment such as a warehouse, shed, or garage that is not exposed to heat or humidity. If you do not have access to this storage, try to minimize your Calcium Chloride products’ contact with direct sunlight, as this can activate a reaction before you intend to, making the product less effective at reducing ice or dust. You don’t want your Calcium Chloride to have a reaction until you have applied it to your ground surface. If you opt for outdoor storage of your product, you’ll want to ensure it is covered with a waterproof and weatherproof tarp for optimal results.
