Detailed analysis of the performance of varying de-icer agents and liquid brine can be found in STEP's earlier technical brief entitled, [https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2015/11/AlternativeSalt_TechBrief_Nov2015.pdf Evaluation of Organic Anti-icing Materials for Winter Maintenance].<ref>STEP. 2015. Evaluation of Organic Anti-icing Materials for Winter Maintenance. Technical Brief. Salt Management. https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2015/11/AlternativeSalt_TechBrief_Nov2015.pdf</ref>. The document describes the practice of "anti-icing", (applying liquid brine solutions to paved surfaces before a winter storm) to help prevent ice and snow from bonding to the roadway surface, which in turn helps to reduce the amount of rock salt required to remove salt and ice.
