Because of the volume of product that is needed for driveway de-icing, these kinds of driveway care products are typically packaged by the buckets or in large containers with handles—SPLASH offers a solution called Ice Melt that's much easier to use.

Ice Melt is packaged in [resealable "shaker bags"](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-pouches) that feature bottom portions that can be snipped off. Rather than having to hold a [heavy container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-snow-shovel) and shake it to disperse the product across one's driveway, consumers are given a much easier option with these small, handheld pouches.

SPLASH carries three different kinds of Ice Melt: a premium solution that melts ice to temperatures as low as -15°F, a sodium chloride formula that melts to 5°F and a salt-free option that is [safe for pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsafe-2) and vegetation.
