What is Treated Salt?
Original Magic Treated Salt starts as standard rock salt and is transformed into a premium ice‑melting solution by applying our patented liquid blend of agricultural distiller by‑products and magnesium chloride. This treated salt delivers dramatically better winter performance than untreated rock salt, making it a superior choice for contractors, municipalities, property managers, and facility teams.
Original Magic Treated Salt is available in multiple formats to suit your needs:
Buy by the pallet
Ideal for large stockpiles and commercial use
Buy by the bag
Convenient for snow contractors and smaller projects
Buy by the Jug
Small and convenient for easy lifting and usability
By treating rock salt with Original Magic Liquid at a rate of 8 gallons per ton, ordinary salt becomes a high‑performance deicer that:
Original Magic Treated Salt remains effective at temperatures far below those where untreated rock salt stops working, delivering reliable ice melt when you need it most.
Because it activates faster and continues working longer, you can use significantly less treated salt — often reducing overall application rates by 30%–50% compared to plain rock salt.
Treated salt stays active on the surface longer, helping prevent snow and ice from bonding to pavement and reducing the need for frequent reapplications.
Original Magic Treated Salt is less corrosive than traditional ice‑melters, making it safer for concrete, brick, and other hardscape surfaces when used as directed.
Because it works more effectively with less product, treated salt reduces the total amount of chlorides released into the environment — helping protect vegetation, soil, and nearby water systems.
