This is one amazing product. Softwood wood chips with just the right mix of magnesium chloride to help the chips to melt into and stick on the ice - making the safest icy walkway I ever walked on. This is a Swedish invention and Canadian distribution is just beginning. I used it the last half of last winter, and it was unbelievable. It stays put and if a lot of ice builds up over it, you may need more, but when it begins to melt, the chips float to the surface and then freeze right there where you need them. It is pH neutral for your plants and pets. At the end of the winter, just vacuum them up and although they will be lacking the magnesium, you can mix them with a new supply the following winter.

Still a start-up operation here in Quebec, the company is quickly getting local distribution one outlet at a time, so I will be filling in this article, complete with photos and video from last year but for the moment I just wanted to create a landing page as to where you can buy them now. This page will be updated frequently as we get into this winter.
