Why We Use IceShield Premium Ice Melter for Toronto-Area Snow Service

The Blizzard Wizard uses IceShield when de-icing is included in an approved residential service scope. Tillsonbrands describes IceShield as a premium ice melter with calcium magnesium acetate (CMA), Smart Melt® technology, and performance below -32°C / -26°F.

What is IceShield?

Tillsonbrands describes IceShield as a blended ice-melting product with CMA, polyols, organic salts, and bio-additives. Product-specific qualities are attributed to the manufacturer and should be checked against the current label and safety data sheet.

The official product page lists driveways, construction sites, sidewalks, and steps. The Blizzard Wizard confirms the areas and surface considerations in the service quote before applying de-icing.

Available sizes and retail partners

Tillsonbrands lists 50 lb bags, 20 kg bags, 18 kg pails, and 5 kg jugs, plus national partners including Fastenal, SiteOne Landscape Supply, and Costco. Availability varies by location and retailer.

Responsible de-icing

Follow the current product label, keep pets and children away during application, use only the directed amount, and consider surface, drainage, landscaping, and refreezing conditions. No de-icer is a universal guarantee against damage or slips.
