Though numerous ice melt brands get sold through different suppliers, each product is listed as one of the four different Chloride categories. Another note is that three ice melts do not contain sodium, commonly found in rock salt.

• Sodium Chloride is the least expensive, is corrosive, can damage wood, concrete, and plants, and is commonly known as rock salt.
• Calcium Chloride melts snow faster than rock salt, is less harmful to concrete, and has white rounded pellets.
• Magnesium Chloride is a granule ice melt that is pet-friendly, is less harmful to concrete. Still, more of the product is needed for melting.
• Potassium Chloride is a slow ice melt that performs better in higher temperatures but is safe around pets, plants, and water supplies.
