Anti-icing and deicing with brine serve different purposes in snow management. Anti-icing involves applying brine before a snowstorm to prevent snow and ice from bonding to the pavement. This proactive approach reduces the need for further treatments and makes removal easier. Deicing, on the other hand, involves applying brine after snow or ice has formed to break the bond and melt it. While effective, deicing often requires more frequent applications and higher chemical use. Brine is more eco-friendly than traditional rock salt because it is used in smaller quantities and more precisely. Anti-icing, in particular, is better for the environment as it prevents ice formation, reducing the total amount of salt needed. Both methods enhance effectiveness by addressing snow and ice issues before they become severe.
