If Your Deck Has Aluminum, Salt Isn’t Good For It.
Salt corrodes wood, which is why your deck is made of wood. But that’s not the whole story. Salt can also damage other materials like aluminum, zinc, and steel—even concrete! So when you’re looking to build a new patio, you’ll want to make sure it’s protected from salty winters by using a snow melt product that doesn’t contain sodium chloride (i.e., ordinary table salt).
It Is Corrosive To Use Chlorine.
Chlorides in winter deicer products can deteriorate almost any metal, including steel, aluminum, and zinc. Most deicing products are designed to melt ice and keep the surface below at 32 degrees F or above.
Chlorides are corrosive to metal surfaces; they attack the metal by dissolving it away. As a result of this corrosion process, deicing materials such as sodium chloride (rock salt), calcium chloride snow melt, and magnesium chloride have become common cause of rust stains on concrete patios exposed to winter weather conditions.
Calcium chloride snow melt is one of the most aggressive deicers available on the market today. It is highly corrosive to a variety of materials, including metal and concrete.
