QUESTION:   How does PROPELLANT 49 compare to other ice melters?

ANSWER:      Pound per pound P-49 melts more ice and snow than cheaper ice melters.  It melts at lower temperatures.  It melts faster and continues to melt snow up to 36 hours.

QUESTION:   P-49 continues to melt for 36 hours?

ANSWER:      Yes.  It's what we call "Controlled Melting Action".  This means you can apply P-49 at the first sign of snow or ice to keep your sidewalks and drives safe all day long.  You can go home for the night knowing P-49 is still on the job keeping sidewalks and driveways safe overnight!

QUESTION:   How long for delivery of a PROPELLANT 49 order?

QUESTION:   Who pays the freight?

ANSWER:      The customer pays freight charges directly to the truckline upon delivery.  Being a PACE customer has advantages here too.  Because we are a volume shipper, PACE shipments receive as much as a 60% discount from the trucklines which typically applies to a customer's delivery too.  In addition, each of our P-49 packages, from the Handy Pack to the Blizzard Bonus, gives you FREE material whose value far offsets any freight charge.

QUESTION:   Can a bank place a large order like a Blizzard Bonus to take advantage of the savings and then have smaller quantities shipped to each branch office?

QUESTION:   How does PROPELLANT 49 work on snow?

ANSWER:      A good question as obviously even an ice melter as potent as P-49 will not melt a snow drift.  However it does melt hard packed snow and if sprinkled evenly over walks and drives before heavy snow fall it prevents ice from forming and greatly expedites a heavy snow removal.

QUESTION:   I've had bad experience with ice melters killing my grass and shrubs.  How can I be sure P-49 will be different?
