A winter can change a great deal – especially when it turns out differently than expected. Last season demonstrated just how quickly conditions in the road salt market can change. Adequate availability cannot be taken for granted when an exceptionally harsh winter drives up demand and puts pressure on supply chains. As a result, temporary shortages occurred across Germany, leaving many market participants facing significant challenges. These experiences from last winter highlight one key lesson: planning ahead creates long-term security. That is why we are already looking ahead to the coming season and supporting our customers in securing the required quantities of de-icing salt in good time.
DE-ICING SALT: EFFECT & FUNCTION
De-icing salt makes an important contribution to road safety in winter. It is used to de-ice and grit road surfaces, paths, driveways, and other areas. Its effectiveness is based on a specific chemical property: road salt lowers the freezing point of water. This allows ice to melt more quickly or prevents the formation of a solid layer of ice.
