Much of the salt used on Canadian businesses comes from massive underground deposits formed by ancient oceans more than 400 million years ago. These deposits stretch for kilometers beneath the surface, making Canada one of the world’s leading producers of high-quality road salt.

One grain of road salt can do more than you might expect. A single grain has the power to melt many times its own weight in ice by creating a thin layer of brine that weakens the bond between ice and pavement. #SaltPower #SnowSZN

Salt spreads faster when cars drive on it, and at Draglam Salt we know how powerful that effect can be. Vehicle tires grind road salt into finer particles and help spread the brine across lanes, making even small amounts of salt go a long way. #RoadSafety #CanadianWinter

Canada began experimenting with road salt for de-icing in the late 1940s, following successful trials in the United States. Early tests showed that salt could effectively reduce ice on winter surfaces, making work sites and projects safer and more manageable. #RoadSafety

Salt isn’t just for roads, it’s a key tool in creating the perfect ice for winter sports. At ski resorts, small amounts of sodium chloride are used during artificial snowmaking, the salt helps lower the freezing point of water! #TheMoreYouKnow #Science

Salt isn’t just for roads, it’s also used to create high-quality ice for hockey. When Zambonis resurface arenas, small amounts of salt are sometimes added to the water. Salt lowers the freezing point, helping new ice layers freeze evenly and adhere smoothly to the rink surface.
