What type of ice melter should be used on new concrete?
No ice melter should be used on newly poured concrete, as this concrete requires a certain length of time to cure. It is best to not use ice melter on new or unsealed concrete less than 12 months old, exposed aggregate, brick, or pre-cast steps. Applying ice melter to damaged, cracked or chipped concrete may result in further damage due to the thaw and re-freeze cycles.
