Q:We just had our front and rear porch recovered by Apollo Concrete Paving Co. and they told us not to use Salt on this during the winter. Would this product be safe and if not what might you recommend that would be safe to use over a concrete coating.

Answer This Question

A:  Because the surface is so new, I would not recommend using Ice Melt on the surface this winter. Latexite is a blend of calcium, magnesium, and sodium and could cause issues if over applied.

              A:  No, the material should not react differently. IF the product was not properly sealed and moisture got into it. the material could become clumpy and have difficulty spreading.

                A:  No. I’m still using my original purchase with good results

                  ***DISASTER***
                  If only I could give this a ZERO, I surely would! It completely ruined my driveway(see pics included). I bought 4 buckets of this product to help clear my driveway this winter and boy, was that ever a big mistake. I am taking 3 buckets back to Home Depot.

                  Like a rock, better options at Home Depot
                  Having purchased at least a dozen buckets, some for friends and family, I just used this to disappointment. See attached photo and it might go through a mechanical spreader with an agitator, but forget using a handheld. Parts are wet and other parts are like concrete. Site says 60 to 100% Sodium Chloride (SALT), where this seems like the 100% with coloring.

                      Steep driveway de-icer
                      We have a steep driveway and must keep it free of ice or it becomes treacherous for cars and people. This product works great. I prefer a plastic pail and 30lbs is easy to carry and dispense from.
