The use of ice melters does not solve the problem of the need to immediately cross icy or snowy surfaces. Traction Magic is the only traction agent that works instantly. It can be used when your car is stuck, when you need to walk on walkways, driveways, or decks. Traction Magic's all natural crystals first absorbs in the liquid layer and then, with their spiky ends, bury themselves into ice sheet. The icy surface, with the granules buried into it, provides a stable non-slip surface similar to sandpaper for your tires, shoes, and paws to travel on. Traction Magic Works with temperature down to -35 deg C is 100% natural, safe to handle, and effective. Made in USA.
