Road salt, often potassium chloride (KCl) lowers the freezing point of water, so during weather where normally water would be frozen on the roads, the roads are ice-free.
Road salt is used for deicing.

Road salt is impure salt directly extracted from mines.
Road salt typically does not contain molasses. However, some municipalities mix road salt with additives like molasses or other organic materials to enhance its effectiveness in preventing ice formation and to reduce environmental impact. This mixture can help lower the freezing point of the salt and improve its adhesion to road surfaces. Overall, while standard road salt is primarily sodium chloride, some formulations may include molasses as part of their composition.
