ice melt
Traction-restoring granules
Ice melt refers to the process of ice turning to liquid water, particularly in discussions of climate change and glacial recession: Arctic ice melt has accelerated dramatically in recent decades.
The term also denotes chemical products—typically salt-based compounds—spread on sidewalks, driveways, and roads to melt ice and prevent slipping during winter weather.
