Drive through Ohio in winter and chances are you ll see an Ohio Department of Transportation truck spraying the roads with some kind of deicer.
Most of the time, it s a mixture of rock salt and water. But when temperatures dip below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, ODOT adds other chemicals to keep the brine from freezing.
One of those additives is AquaSalina. It s made in Brecksville in northeast Ohio by Nature’s Own Source LLC, and owner Dave Mansbery has been singing its praises for years.
It s ancient seawater. It works up to -15 degrees Fahrenheit. It s 70% less corrosive than traditional deicers and more effective per lane mile, Mansbery told an Ohio House Committee.
