ProMelt Essential Brine | Ready-to-Use Salt Brine Replacement

What is ProMelt Essential Brine?

ProMelt Essential Brine is liquid de-icer designed to mimic the melting performance of traditional salt brine while eliminating the operational headaches and costs of in-house brine production. Delivered directly to your storage location, it allows contractors and municipalities to start using liquids immediately and scale as needed, without capital expenditures of a brine generator, or risk of mid-season material price volatility.

Key Benefits & Cost Protection

• Zero Capital Investment: No set-up costs for brine generators, dedicated buildings, water or infrastructure.
• Guaranteed Quality Control: Every drop of ProMelt Essential Brine is produced to strict specifications, tested, and managed by Innovative Surface Solutions.
• Budgeting Security: Fixed, seasonal product pricing protects your business from mid-season supply shortages and price spikes.
• Seamless Scalability: Expand liquid anti-icing operations smoothly as your team grows comfortable with liquid application.

Is Salt Brine Corrosive to Equipment and Fleet Assets?

Traditional sodium chloride (rock salt or salt brine) carries a high relative corrosion rate that rapidly degrades commercial application equipment, trucks, and infrastructure.

Using an inhibited, liquid magnesium chloride replacement significantly decreases asset corrosion.

Your 3-Step Plan to Getting Started

Entering the liquid anti-icing market requires minimal setup, and you don’t have to figure it out alone:

1. Secure Liquid Storage: Station a standard liquid storage tank (e.g., 6,000-gallon capacity) in your yard or onsite storage location. (Don’t forget to ask us about our storage and applicator unit purchase and lease options!)
2. Liquid Application Unit: Mount a standard liquid sprayer or anti-icing unit onto your vehicle
3. Train Your Crew for Free: Take advantage of free, hands-on operator training provided directly by Innovative Surface Solutions to ensure seamless deployment.

Application guidelines:

ProMelt Essential Brine is specifically designed for anti-icing, and direct application de-icing. As a guide we suggest application rates aligned with accepted salt brine application rates, as this product has been designed as a salt brine replacement.

Anti-Icing (pre storm event): 1 gallon per 1,000 square feet.^*

De-Icing (post storm event): 2 gallons per 1,000 square feet. ^*

^*Note: Application rates serve as a general guide. Actual application rates vary depending on storm severity, traffic, and pavement temperature.
