Rock Salt
Rock salt used to be a product that was bought in an emergency to protect the roads, footpaths, schools, hospitals and the like. Now due to climate change it is an absolute necessity every single winter. Over two million tons of de-icing salt is spread each year on roads in the United Kingdom. Without salt, delays could cause the UK economy to grind to a standstill costing £2 billion per year that would affect the British tax payer.

Our rock salt is naturally sourced from salt mines near Cheshire and conforms to BS3247. This means it complies with British safety standards, meaning the product you buy to keep you safe is safe! Darlingtons also offer white de-icing salt as an alternative to rock salt.
