Overview

Prelude is a performance enhancing salt brine used as an anti-icing pretreat or pre-wet with a working temperature of -5 degrees F.

Prelude keeps costs down by reducing application rates due to its ability to enhance the performance of granular de-icers and in turn lower the chloride impact in the environment.

A no tracking product, Prelude does not leave a messy white residue after application.

Liquids start working on contact. Applied before a storm, they keep snow and ice from bonding to the pavement so it plows off cleanly. Sprayed onto granular salt at the spinner, they turn dry salt into active brine immediately and help it stay on the road surface instead of bouncing into the ditch.

Prelude is the starting point for most liquid programs. Use it to pretreat roads, lots, and walks ahead of a storm, or to pre-wet granular salt so it works faster and less of it is needed.

Common questions

What is the difference between pretreat and pre-wet?+

Pretreat (anti-icing) is applied to pavement before a storm to keep ice from bonding. Pre-wet is applied to granular salt as it is spread so it starts working faster and stays on the road.

Will liquids reduce how much salt I use?+

Yes. Our liquids reduce application rates and enhance the performance of granular de-icers, lowering chloride impact.
