PERLITE FOR TRACTION

For many years truck drivers at The Schundler Company found they could use perlite for traction whenever they found themselves stuck in snow or ice. The perlite didn't melt the snow or ice, but it did provide as much or more traction than sand, and was a lot easier to use. Instead of weighing over 60-70 lbs./cubic foot, perlite weighs from 4-7 lbs./cubic foot. And unlike sand, perlite seems to "soak" up water and "slush" and dries up the "slick" surfaces quickly and easily.

As a result, several years ago The Schundler Company began packaging ANTI-SKID. The bags are designed to be easy to use, and easy to store in your home or in your car.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING ANTI-SKID

• For Home Use
  • Use ANTI-SKID for icy spots around your home (walks,steps, driveways, etc). After spreading a thin layer on these surfaces, step on it and press it into the ice to keep it in place (Perlite is so light that a strong wind can and will blow it away.) ANTI-SKID can be used in conjuction with salt or chemical ice melting products. When used alone, ANTI-SKID will not harm your shrubs, lawn or walks, nor will it harm your carpets or the paws of your cats or dogs.
• For Cars and Trucks
  • Spread a thin layer of ANTI-SKID on and around your tires when you get stuck in ice or snow. Then gently accelerate off the ice. When stuck in deep snow, clear snow away from your tires first before spreading ANTI-SKID. Lightweight ANTI-SKID is salt-free and it will not harm your car or driveway.
