Not sure what you are asking here exactly, but Ice makers in the centuries before refrigeration often used sawdust to insulate ice blocks in the ice houses, to slow the rate of melting. And to prevent the blocks from sticking together.
Anything that dissolves in water. Usually salt is used. <><><> Salt makes ice melt faster- question was keep from melting. Materials that insulate ice from air or water around it. Leaves, pine needles, and sawdust will allow ice to stay cold and unmelted.
Ice (water in the solid state) will melt when its surface temperature reaches 0 degrees Celcius/32 degrees Fahrenheidt. If the ice is not pure, the melting point can be lower. To keep ice from melting, you need to insulate it against warmer temperatures - sawdust, styrofoam and ceramic materials are all pretty good insulators, although not for long-term storage.
I think i might now but i need a little help first because i don't speak english that good. What does "sawdust" means?
Yes.

the sawdust acts as insulation isolating the ice from warm air

you can put sawdust on the ice cube

Yes you can use sawdust provided it is made of pure pine sawdust. It should be noted that as it says in it's name sawdust is dusty and can cause respiratory problems in horses.
You use insulating materials like foil or copper or sawdust. Bubble wrap and styrofoam work good, too.
it melts
Apply water to it or use high mass of sawdust.
Wrap it in newspaper and put it in a plastic bag.
