Grit salt primarily comes from the evaporation of seawater or from mining natural salt deposits. The salt is often harvested from salt lakes, salt flats, or underground salt mines. Once extracted, it is typically crushed into smaller granules, which are then used for de-icing roads and walkways during winter. This type of salt is characterized by its coarse texture and high purity.

How do you separate salt from grit salt?

Can sand be used instead of salt for grit?
While sand can provide grit on surfaces, it is not a suitable replacement for salt as it does not provide the same melting capabilities. Salt helps to reduce ice formation and melt existing ice, making it more effective for de-icing purposes compared to sand. Sand is primarily used for added traction on icy surfaces but does not actually melt the ice.
