LIQUIDOW™ is a purified inorganic salt solution produced by removing water from a naturally occurring brine solution. Unlike other processes used to produce calcium chloride, the brine process does not involve reactions with toxic chemicals such as hydrochloric acid or ammonia. The National Organic Standards Board noted this distinction when it classified the brine process as “non-synthetic.”
Treatment
Available in concentrations of 28-42%, LIQUIDOW helps control dust and maintenance costs by its ability to:
- Attract moisture from its surroundings, keeping roads damp even under hot and dry conditions
- Bind aggregate particles to make the surface hard and compact
- Improve stability and minimize frost damage, when applied consistently every year, by penetrating the road base several inches.
