Cold as Ice!




I'm sure you've notice, but it's absolutely freezing outside! This morning it was extremely icy around the area! You may not know, but we stock Ungraded De-icing salt. A great investment at this time of year.

It Contains a high percentage of insoluble materials, so after de-icing it leaves a gritty residue which provides an extra grip to the surface. This versatile and highly effective de-icer can be used for walkways, footpaths and car parks alike. The rock salt decreases the risk factor of snowy and icy winter weather conditions to both pedestrians and motorists.

The grit can be used before heavy frosts or snowfall to prevent slippery surfaces, or can be used as a fast acting de-icer when surfaces have become hazardous.

It comes in a 25kg bag, so if your needing some this year, give us a ring on 0845 8124 888 and we'll get some over to you! You can also order online on our office supplies website.
