We just moved into our new building. Can we use Propellant 49 on our new sidewalks?
The Portland Cement Association recommends against using any type of a chemical de-icer including salt on concrete that is less than 1 year old because it can take this long for new concrete to reach it’s full structural strength.
Does P-49 leave an unsightly white residue that can track in?
This is one of the advantages of P-49 our customers love. No white residue. No white residue track-in.
I’ve had bad experience with ice melters killing my grass and shrubs. How can I be sure P-49 will be different?
P-49 has proven to be safe to grass, shrubs, flowers and other vegetation. Both in laboratory conditions and over 40 years in use throughout the US and Canada! P-49 has been used for over 4 decades at National Shrines where the landscaping is priceless. The White House, Washington Monument, Vietnam Veterans Memorial … we also sell to many landscaping companies for their own use.
How does PROPELLANT 49 work on snow?
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.
P-49 continues to melt for 36 hours?
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!

Who pays the freight?
The customer pays freight, but for his convenience we prepay and add the freight to his invoice. When the customer pays check with order, or needs to know what his freight will be, you can call Pace and they will give you a freight rate. 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.
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?
Absolutely yes. We have many such customers; not only banks, but fast food restaurants, supermarkets and property management firms. They get the benefit of the volume price, we invoice to a central office and make the shipments to different locations.
