Caliber M-1000 Tire Ballast

[I2FAST4U2C]

Anyone ever heard of Caliber M-1000 tire ballast? A few tire places locally have started using it. I guess they use it as a road deicer as well. They say it is "less toxic, less corrosive" Not sure what that means.... Anyone using it?

Never heard of it around here. What kind of prices are they talking per gallon??

Looking at the MSDS sheet, it is Magnesium Chloride 27% so it is a salt solution. Maybe not as corrosive as Calcium Chloride as they claim, but I would bet it is still a corrosive just like the other chlorides (sodium, calcium etc.) I would stay away from it unless I had tube tires.
