DE-ICING AGENT
Bleu-Fuzion®
Liquid Additive for De-Icing Salt
ll Product Description
Bleu-Fuzion® is a mix of liquid magnesium chloride (30%
concentration) and a natural additive (corn-based carbohydrate) combined with a corrosion inhibitor and blue
dye.
During treatment, Bleu-Fuzion® coats each grain of salt,
which optimizes its efficiency while lowering its impact
on equipment and the environment.
ll Application Rate
The recommended quantity for treatment is 30 liters per
metric ton of salt. Treated salt should be stored indoors or
protected from the elements by a tarp.
ll Availables Sizes
Bleu-Fuzion® treated de-icing salt is available in bulk and
in 10 kg, 20 kg, and 1,000 kg bags.

Color: Bleu-Fuzion®’s unique blue color helps you see the
amount of salt applied on icy roads. Its dark shade also
helps absorb sunlight and thus provide the heat (energy)
the salt needs to begin the melting process.

Bleu-Fuzion® contains a corrosion inhibitor that makes it slightly
more corrosive than distilled water, but ten times less corrosive than
other liquid de-icing agents, according to the National Association
of Corrosion Engineers Standard TM-01-69 as modified by the PNS.
