Sel Frigon
Salts and compounds in bulk for cities and municipalities
STRATEGIC SUPPLY FOR WINTER AND SEASONAL OPERATIONS
Cities and municipalities face a series of operational challenges related to road network management, public infrastructure, public access and technical facilities, particularly in winter. Choosing the right de-icing product, abrasive formulation or water treatment additive directly influences service quality for citizens, public road safety and the durability of municipal assets.
Sel Frigon supports municipalities by supplying products calibrated for the specific needs of snow removal, dust control and water treatment operations, in bulk format, with logistics adapted to the realities of technical services. Each product is selected for field performance, compatibility with municipal equipment and compliance with applicable regulatory standards.

Available bulk products for municipal services
The offer for cities and municipalities includes all bulk technical products required for seasonal maintenance, winter safety and technical treatment:
- Bulk De-Icing Salt : dry sodium chloride-based salt used as a de-icing agent on paved roads, municipal parking lots and priority access routes.
- Anti-slip salt and sand mixture : balanced formulation for secondary roads, slopes, pedestrian zones or streets with lower maintenance priority.
- Bulk treated and abrasive salt : salt enriched with calcium chloride or magnesium chloride, with abrasive, for areas sensitive to freezing or steep grades.
- Bulk Dust Control : hygroscopic liquid for gravel or unpaved roads, used in spring and summer for fine particle control.
- Bulk water softener salt : technical salt for water softener regeneration in municipal buildings, heating networks or public pools.
These products are delivered in bulk, with gradation calibration options, customized dosing and complete lot-by-lot documentation.

Integration into municipal winter management plans
Most Québec municipalities operate with a structured winter plan, organized by priority level (main roads, collectors, local roads, sidewalks).
Using bulk salt ensures service continuity across the network without multiplying formats or making logistics operations more complex.
Sel Frigon supplies products adapted to each service level. Dry salt is preferred for high-transit corridors, salt-sand mixtures for residential streets and treated salt for critical zones. Each product is compatible with standard municipal equipment: auger spreaders, belt spreaders, chute spreaders, hoppers or storage domes.
Volumes can be adjusted according to weather conditions, with deliveries planned in advance or triggered by threshold according to available reserves on site.
Technical support can be provided to size requirements by linear kilometre or by service sector.

Regulatory compliance, traceability and documentation
Products delivered to municipalities must meet traceability, tender compliance and environmental safety requirements.
Sel Frigon provides a technical sheet for each product, a certificate of analysis if required, a lot number, an up-to-date safety data sheet (SDS), and the data required for reporting or supplier evaluation.
Formulations comply with current environmental standards, particularly regarding chloride concentration, insoluble content, gradation and the presence of additives. All products are designed for outdoor use on roads, shoulders and pedestrian areas, or for treating technical water networks.
Full traceability allows the product to be integrated into municipal management reports, internal audits or responses to citizen requests about winter maintenance practices.

Logistics and storage for municipal infrastructure
Sel Frigon organizes deliveries according to municipal storage capacity: vertical silos, concrete domes, ventilated sheds or covered concrete areas. The product is unloaded mechanically or by blower, depending on site constraints.
Bulk supply enables optimized storage without packaging and with minimal handling for teams.
Fast access to product, compatibility with loaders and spreading equipment, and product stability in storage allow municipal departments to manage operations autonomously.
Multi-year or seasonal agreements can be established to secure supply, avoid shortages during peak periods or plan strategic reserve volumes.
