MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE
Harvested from the Great Salt Lake in Utah, magnesium chloride is
the answer for very low temperature deicing. As an additive or
stand-alone deicer, it’s safer than many other deicers for pets and
vegetation and less corrosive on metal and concrete. Magnesium
chloride also provides road stabilization and dust control for gravel
roads and environmentally sensitive areas, reducing road
maintenance cost with minimal environmental impact.

AND DEDUSTING PRODUCER IN NORTH AMERICA.
CROP MICRONUTRIENTS & SPECIALTY BLENDS
As with human nutrition, plant health requires a variety of mineral
inputs to ensure healthy growth. Micronutrients are essential
minerals that maximize plant yields by promoting stronger roots,
more consistent growth, enhanced color and flowering, and disease
resistance. These minerals also mitigate stress from heat, drought
and cold.

DISPERSIBLE POWDER MICRONUTRIENTS AND PHOSPHOROUS
