Is Snow Melting Agent The Same Thing As Industrial Salt

First, the composition is different

As the name suggests, the function of snow melting agent is to melt snow and ice, which is convenient for road dredging. One is an organic snow melting agent with potassium acetate as the main component; The other is an inorganic snow melting agent with chlorine salt as the main component, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, etc., which are called "ice melting salt".

Industrial salt takes sodium chloride as the main component, and the main basic chemical products include hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, soda ash, ammonium chloride, chlorine, etc. In addition to the main components, it also contains various impurities.

Second, different uses

Snow melting agent can only be used to melt snow. Industrial salt is not only used as the raw material of snow melting agent, but also used in soap manufacturing, ceramics, glass production, daily chemical industry, oil drilling, drilling fluid, well fluid, petrochemical dehydration fluid, early strength agent in construction industry, coating coagulant, latex coagulant in rubber industry, additives in papermaking industry and deinking of waste paper, inorganic chemical raw materials and sulfate remover in chemical industry.
