Today, we know there is a much better and proactive way to combat the unpredictable winter months using Liquid de-icers!

While significant cost reduction in material and labor along with a need for increased safety and melting performance drives the rapid growth of this emerging technology. We care about working with you and your company for the long haul, we strive to represent our products and services with accuracy and honesty. We have done our research, field tests, and personally witnessed what's available for Ice Prevention. Only a few products meet our exceptionally high standards of quality, performance, and cost-effectiveness in the long-term.

The powerful and environmentally friendly liquid de-icers Caliber M1000 and Caliber M2000 have made our grade and here's why.

All Caliber products are proven and designed for private and public users alike including:

• Regional shopping centers
• Municipalities
• Cities
• Counties
• DOT
• Colleges and universities
• School systems
• Churches
• All other commercial businesses

Research has proven when pavement owners apply liquid anti-icing treatments to their pavements as part of a proactive attack before the storm arrives, the result is a significant reduction in the effort (and cost) to keep roads highways and parking areas clear.

To take the plan one step further, anti-icing effectiveness is maximized when Caliber is blended into a liquid de-icer. Caliber enhancers act to "supercharge" the liquid de-icer and not only causes the liquid de-icer to melt longer, but to melt at lower temperatures as well.

As added benefits Caliber:

• Reduces corrosion to your equipment.
• Reduces friction damage to concrete.
• Helps sustain our infrastructure.
• Is ultimately cost-effective.

Caliber enhanced liquid de-icers exhibit more melting and staying power than nearly anything else on the market today.

ENHANCED ANTI-ICING & DE-ICING at a LOWER COST
The use of specially enhanced liquid de-icers such as Caliber M2000 have another distinct advantage. When they are added to salt stockpiles as a pre-wetting agent the performance of plain old rock salt is catapulted into the realm of a high performance de-icer.

By pre-wetting salt stockpiles with a liquid that stays in the stockpile, work crews achieve a more workable and flowing inventory that handles and stores well over the summer. Pre-wetted rock salt also sticks better when broadcast from application vehicles, reducing losses from bounce and scatter by as much as 40%.

In addition, pre-wetted rock salt melts ice and snow at lower temperatures, works longer, and stays in-place longer. Both public and commercial users report reductions of 25% to 40% of salt tonnage as a result of the extra melting power and reduced bounce and scatter obtained from pre-wetting at their stockpile!

Once again the cost reduction more than pays for the pre-wetting process providing an overall net savings!

Caliber users have learned that liquid de-icers have minimized their total operating costs by:

• Reducing the amount of chemical needed for melting and removing hazardous winter snow and ice.
• Reducing associated costs such as driver/operator overtime and wear and tear on equipment, since fewer trips and repeat applications are needed.
• Eliminating any cleanup costs in the spring because there is nothing to sweep up.
• Eliminating the annual replacement costs of delicate landscaping, trees, shrubs.
• Eliminating costly repairs to expensive floors, marble, brick, terrazzo, carpet and other quality surfaces.

Since Caliber has no abrasive elements common in other de-icers, replacement, cleanup or repair becomes virtually non-existent. Many of our customers have indicated their reduced floor care costs single-handedly paid for the switch over to liquid de-icers! Not a bad trade off huh? So what are you waiting for?

ENHANCED PUBLIC SAFETY
The most important issue of all is SAFETY!

Those who use Caliber liquid de-icers know how effective they are at improving public safety and reducing auto and pedestrian accidents.

Research conducted by insurance agencies, municipalities and state agencies show a dramatic reduction in claims for loss of life, limb and property damage after liquid de-icers are employed. Lets face it, one slip and fall could potentially cost many times more than an entire seasons budget for de-icers or even subsequent winters! Why do we scrimp when so much is at stake?

ENHANCED EDUCATION
There is a learning curve whenever a new or different process or technique is employed. Our goal is to educate our customers and help them understand operating parameters and limitations when using liquid de-icers. That is why we conduct training programs and educational seminars to disseminate information and debunk common myths. We will come to you! We tailor presentations and schedule workshops at locations you choose to teach you and your staff how to correctly apply liquids, prevent vegetation kill, promote safe winter operations, and improve pedestrian and auto traffic during the most severe winter conditions. Give us a call today and let us show you how to get the most from your liquid de-icer program.
