Whilst easily the best ice melt safe for concrete calcium chloride is one the more expensive options.
Calcium chloride ice melt concrete.
This heat quickly melts the ice and snow thus turning it into water.
Though not the best in this regard.
The dissolving process is exothermic and generates heat of up to 60 degrees celsius.
Calcium chloride is fast acting forming a brine quicker than most similar ice melts.
While powerful it is safer and non corrosive to concrete and pavement that has been properly set and cured.

This means quicker deicing.
This calcium chloride formula is exothermic meaning it generates heat from within to penetrate through snow and ice.
