Pre-Wetting Information
Pre-Wetting is the process of spraying de-icing salt with a solution of liquid chemical before spreading the salt on the roadway. Pre-Wetting the salt helps it work more effectively as a de-icing agent for two reasons: First, wet salt clings to the road instead of bouncing off or being swept off by traffi c. The result is that less salt is spread, saving money and minimizing the threat to the enviroment. Second, to be effective as a de-icing agent, salt requires moisture. Moisture dissolves the salt, releasing heat thereby melting the ice and snow as well as, breaking the ice-road bond. When pre-wetting the salt,
however, ensures that there will be enough moisture to facillitate the melting process. Then, pre wetted salt works faster and at lower temperatures than does dry salt, with less waste. Sodium chloride (salt) brine is a low-cost, effective alternative to
liquid calcium chloride as a pre-wetting agent.
WHY PRE-WET WITH SALT BRINE?
Sodium chloride has been used as a pre-wetting agent primarily because of its low cost and ready availability, but the real benefits from pre wetting occur when the brine is mixed with the dry materials. Sodium chloride must find moisture from some source before it can generate the heat needed to begin the melting process. Under past operations dry sodium chloride could not generate heat unti it came into direct contact with the snow or ice on the road surface. As the sodium chloride found moisture in the snow or ice it began to generate heat which melted more snow and ice, accelerating the melting process. During snow storms and cold air tempreatures along with low humidity chloride had difficulty finding available moisture, which slowed melting process considerably. Adding sodium chloride brine chloride at the spinner before it struck the road surface provided extra moisture to quicken the melting process.
BENEFITS
We are pleased with the results this winter and have found the following benefi ts to using pre-wetted materials:
• Materials readily adhere to the roadway better than with dry materials.
• Pre-wetted materials begin dissolving snowpack and ice faster than dry materials.
• The quantity of materials can be reduced when pre-wetted, since less materials leave the roadway during spreading.
• Corrosion of equipment is minimized by spraying the liquid salt at the spinner.
• Operators report quicker melting with the pre-wetting process, which means better service to the traveling public.
