Its advantage is in a more even distribution on the roadway platform, less losses on roads, better melting ability, compared with samples of previous years. This new sample was tested for almost a year. Based on the results of the experiments, it was found that the material penetrates into the ice and starts to work faster and starts to work, and also has less impact on the environment.
