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 typically does not contain molasses.

Overall, while standard road salt is primarily sodium chloride, some formulations may include molasses as part of their composition.
