Content: In contrast, asphalt heats up much faster and cools down much quicker as well once the sun stops hitting its surface. De-icing should be applied according to the surface temperature of these structures. Exposure to the Cold
Every surface is different, and since they all have different exposure levels to the cold. Shady areas will tend to freeze faster and stay frozen due to the absence of the sun’s heat. Another thing to consider is the amount of cold exposure to the overall surface structure, like bridges. The reason bridges tend to freeze is due to the top and bottom surfaces being exposed to the cold. Application
So now that you know the facts about snow and ice treatments, how does it work? 1. Anti-icing salts are preemptively spread on dry surfaces. Deicer is spread on settled ice or compacted snow.
