Keep roads, car parks, and paths safe this winter with our high quality rock salt for roads, available in brown or white options. Each batch is supplied in a 1.1-tonne bulk bag or on a pallet of 40 × 25 kg bags (1 tonne), perfect for councils, contractors, and facilities teams preparing for icy conditions. This reliable deicing salt works quickly to melt ice and improve traction and pairs perfectly with our Salt Spreaders for efficient, even coverage across large areas.
Our brown rock salt grit has a fine, gravel-like texture that rapidly clears snow and ice while improving grip under-foot and under-wheel, making it the preferred option for roads, yards, and car parks. The white rock salt is clean and free-flowing, ideal for entrances, paths, and pedestrian areas where residue must be minimised. Both types are UK-sourced, screened for consistency, and stored in dry conditions to ensure dependable performance throughout the winter season.
