Keep in mind that ice melters do not melt ice in their solid form. The solid must first penetrate the pavement and dissolve into a brine. The lower freeze point of the brine breaks the bond between the ice and the sidewalk. Calcium Chloride melts faster than most other common ice melters for several reasons. Unlike rock salt, calcium chloride absorbs moisture from its surroundings and actually release heat as it changes from a solid to a liquid. So it forms a potent brine faster. At 15 °F, calcium chloride pellets melt about twice the volume of snow in 20 minutes as rock salt. In addition, calcium chloride pellets also penetrate ice faster than other deicers, and the difference is even more dramatic at colder temperatures.
