Three Ways ECO-SHIELD Meets Your Clients’ Desires for Sustainable Services

By Joe Gibbons

You’ve undoubtedly had commercial property managers inquire about how your snow and ice management services were more environmentally friendly than conventional practices. Or perhaps you’re looking for a significant edge in a competitive and environmentally conscious market.

In recent years, consumer focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly products and services has increased dramatically, influencing how decision-makers spend their dollars. Recent research shows that consumers – including institutional managers, property owners, and their clients – seek out service providers who offer environmentally favorable products and services. And in many cases, they are willing to pay more, as well.

ECO-SHIELD is an anti-icing and deicing product that allows contractors to directly address clients’ concerns about sustainability while providing exceptional snow management and ice mitigation. At its core, ECO-SHIELD’s proprietary formula slows the rate of ice re-crystallization as brine dilutes, providing residual and longer-lasting protection from freeze bonding.

When included as part of a snow fighter’s winter ice-mitigation strategy, ECO-SHIELD …

  • Improves the melting capacity of traditional brine (NaCl) by lowering its working temperature, thereby maximizing its potential. Snow management professionals can more effectively penetrate snow and ice buildup and more easily loosen their bond with the pavement at lower temperatures, allowing for cleaner, safer surfaces.

  • Maximizes effectiveness with less product. Its unique formulation allows brine to stay effective longer on the pavement surface, reducing the need for excessive applications without sacrificing performance.

  • Reduces brine’s corrosion rate by up to 75% (depending on the addition rate), making it less impactful and harmful to surrounding infrastructures and delicate natural habitats.

But these are just some of the many benefits ECO-SHIELD offers snow and ice managers because it was developed with the professional in mind. Let’s work together to integrate this amazing product into your winter service strategy. So, reach out today, and let’s get the conversation started.
