Calcium Chloride currently holds the record for melting ice at the coldest temperatures. While potassium chloride can melt ice down to approximately -13Â°F (-25Â°C) and rock salt down to -10Â°F (-23.3Â°C), Calcium Chloride can melt down to -25Â°F(-31.7Â°C). This makes Calcium Chloride ice melt the most effective ice melter during harsh winter conditions and heavy snowstorms.
