KAPLAN LIQUID DEICERS

Kaplan Liquid Solutions is your single source for Liquid Deicers.
We make our own Liquid Salt Brine and are proud to be the Great Lakes Turbo Melt dealer.
Each year, we produce more than 2,000,000 gallons of salt brine at our production facility in Ingleside Illinois. We use pure solar salt to make our brine. Our brine masters guarantee that our salinity percentage is always 23.3%. The exact percentage to be most effective in the field. Our salt brine is most effective above 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the temps dip lower, we blend Turbo Melt with our brine and the mix is effective to -45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Salt Brine and Turbo Melt Blend Liquid Deicers

Recently one of our customers shared “ Watching your truck spraying Turbo Melt in our mall parking lot, looked like you were melting it with a Jet engine!”

Our blend of 90% Turbo Melt and 10% brine effectively melts ice and snow down to -45 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is the most reliable choice for regions facing severe winter weather.

The application rate for our blend ranges from 40 gallons in pretreatment to 80 gallons per lane mile or acre in post-treatment. It is easily customizable to meet your specific requirements and weather conditions.

Environmental Benefits of Turbo Melt Blend

Turbo Melt blend significantly reduces environmental impact. Because you are applying less salt, brine or blend is less corrosive than road salt, which can be highly damaging to infrastructure and vehicles. This reduction in corrosiveness creates the opportunity to extend the lifespan of infrastructure, equipment and a reduction in overall maintenance costs.

Additionally, moving to liquids eliminates salt stockpile leaching. Stockpile leaching is the process where salt leaches into the ground or surrounding environment when stored, harming local ecosystems. Using liquids is an environmentally responsible choice and reduces your ecological footprint.
Salt Brine and Turbo Melt blend is available for pick up at our facility in Ingleside, IL or we can deliver it in 275 gallon totes, 2200 or 4500 gallon loads.

Often times, we can fill an order within 48 hours.

Turbo Melt Treated Salt

Turbo Melt treated salt effectively melts ice and snow even in the most frigid conditions, with a proven performance record down to -45 degrees Fahrenheit. It is the most reliable choice for regions facing severe winter weather.

Out salt treatment process is a key factor in its effectiveness. Turbo Melt treated salt is treated at a rate of up to 8 gallons per ton of salt. Turbo Melt enhances salt’s natural ice-melting properties, allowing it to work more efficiently for extended periods compared to untreated alternatives.

The application rate for treated salt is flexible, ranging from 95 to 200 pounds per lane mile or acre and can be customized to meet specific requirements and weather conditions.

Environmental Answers from Turbo Melt.

Turbo Melt treated salt significantly reduces environmental impact. It is naturally less corrosive than traditional road salt, which can be highly damaging to infrastructure and vehicles. This reduction in corrosiveness creates the opportunity to extend the lifespan of your equipment and a reduction in your maintenance costs.

Additionally, Turbo Melt treated salt limits your stockpile leaching. Stockpile leaching is the process where salt leaches into the ground or surrounding environment when stored, potentially harming local ecosystems. The diminished leaching associated with this treated salt makes it an environmentally responsible choice and reduces your ecological footprint.

Additional Benefits of Turbo Melt

  • Turbo Melt treated salt doesn’t clump or freeze, reducing manhours, handling, and application issues that come during the harshest weather conditions. Post event, treated salt has an anti-icing effect. The residual brine from the treated salt dries into pavement surfaces which acts as a deicing pretreatment for the next snow event. This provides extended safety for your roads and a decrease in your overall salt usage.
  • Turbo Melt treated salt enhances material visibility. This is crucial for your operators as it improves their ability to observe where salt has been applied, reducing oversalting.
  • We love our pets! Traditional road salt can be harmful to animals when ingested and can also damage their paws. Turbo Melt treated salt is designed to minimize these risks, making it a more pet-friendly choice.

Turbo Melt treated salt is available for pick up at our facility in Ingleside, IL, or we can ship in 50lb bags by the pallet, 2000lb super sacks, or we can treat your onsite salt pile.
