Research & Development
At Salt and Plow, we're driven by a simple but powerful goal: make winter safer without compromising the environment. That commitment fuels our ongoing research and development into smarter, cleaner, and more effective snow and ice management solutions.
Committed to Continuous Improvement
Our R&D efforts aren’t a one-time initiative — they’re a core part of how we operate. We’re constantly:
- Testing new blends and application methods
- Evaluating product performance across seasons and site types
- Educating our team and partners on safer, more sustainable practices
We believe the future of snow and ice management lies in innovation, and we’re committed to leading that change
Leading the Way in Sustainable De-Icing
We are proud to partner with innovative product manufacturers like Starstech, whose de-icing technology is transforming the way winter services are delivered. Together, we are testing and implementing next-generation products that are:
- Environmentally conscious – reducing harm to vegetation, soil, waterways, and surrounding ecosystems
- Non-corrosive – safer for concrete, metal, and delicate surfaces
- Highly effective – designed for reliable performance in a wide range of winter conditions
These solutions are not only better for the environment — they’re smarter for long-term infrastructure preservation and site safety.
