Entry® is safer for floors and surfaces.
Tough on snow, easy on floors. Entry’s non-corrosive neutral pH formula is chloride-free and is the first safe, effective ice melt that preserves indoor surfaces, requires no cleanup, and eliminates messes.
The average facility spends $50 per entrance on ice melt residue cleanup every time salt is applied. Multiply that by the number of times entrances are treated during a storm and throughout a season, and it’s easy to see how tens of thousands of dollars are spent each winter on interior product cleanup alone.
And there is long-term damage to floors. Chloride-based ice melts are highly corrosive, eroding floors and surfaces over time. Most are also granular, leaving scratches, dents, and marks. It sounds simple, but Entry is a massive breakthrough for homeowners and management fed up with ice melt’s toll on their floors – and budgets.
Entry® is safer for health
What goes in our soil goes into bodies of water. And what goes in our fresh water often ends up in the water we drink.
Studies show increased sodium levels in tap water in regions prone to ice and snow. This can be traced to the increasing amounts of sodium chloride rock salts used by towns, cities, homes, and businesses to prevent accidents on roads and on properties – ice melt that makes its way into lakes, rivers, streams, and eventually, our homes. For individuals on low sodium diets, high salt levels are particularly worrisome.
By using chloride-free Entry®, we reduce the amount of sodium chloride in our drinking water. Entry® has added health benefits, too: It is safe for dermal contact when used as directed.
Entry® is safer for Metals
It’s no secret that salt corrodes metal. Look at any oceanfront pier, home, or store, and you can see how chloride salts increase oxidation, damaging metal surfaces in relatively short spans of time.
We tend to underestimate the toll that chloride salt-based ice melts inflict on metal, in large part because ice melt is perceived as temporary – something seasonal that’s cleaned up or washed away before it can cause harm.
The cost of replacing metal is steep. This reality points to the need for an ice melt that can spend months in contact with metal without undoing its integrity or appearance. That safer ice melt is chloride-free, Green Seal certified Entry®. Entry’s potassium formate technology is significantly less corrosive than chloride-based de-icers.
Entry® is safer for Concrete
Traditional ice melts do a number on concrete. Their key ingredient – chloride – loses potency as temperatures plummet, creating a thaw/refreeze cycle that traps water in concrete’s pores, ultimately cracking and altering its surface.
Entry’s lack of chloride is one reason it’s safer for concrete. Its neutral pH is another. Both make Entry® gentler on surfaces, but even more, contribute to Entry’s low refreeze point. When used as directed, a single application of Entry® prevents refreeze to temperatures as low as -15 degrees Fahrenheit. No more constant thawing and refreezing means less damage on concrete.
Entry’s potassium formate technology keeps you from choosing between human safety and the integrity and endurance of concrete. Keep concrete intact and in great shape all year long with chloride-free Entry®.
Entry® is better for nature
When we discuss chloride’s threat to the environment, this is what we’re talking about: Troublesome, chloride-driven problems making their way across our ecosystem – the full impact of which remain to be seen. In lakes nationwide, high chloride levels are causing widespread death among terrestrial plants. Adding insult to injury, these plants float to the surface when they die, blocking the sunlight necessary for other plants’ survival.
The first domino is tipped when salt converts fresh water into salt water. It’s a shift that can’t be reversed. Once fresh water becomes salty, it stays that way, alleviated only slightly by evaporation or water’s movement. With no natural way to purge chloride, sodium levels in water continue to rise. Since a very small percentage of the earth’s water is fresh, our own drinking supply is at stake, as is the fate of many plant and animal species.
With Entry®, concerns about the environment disappear. Because it’s chloride-free, Entry® provides the very same benefits of traditional ice melts without contributing to this larger environmental epidemic.
