Brown Rock Salt Bulk Bag

Brown or pink rock salt is widely used for winter gritting, helping to keep high-footfall areas clear of snow and ice. It’s a practical, effective solution for preventing slips, trips, and falls during freezing conditions.

Best suited for larger open spaces, such as public walkways, car parks and access roads, brown rock salt offers excellent coverage and is a more cost-effective option when used in bulk.

Our rock salt conforms to BS 3247, the British Standard for de-icing salt. It's the same high-quality material used by local councils, highways authorities and commercial operators across the UK.

Each batch is treated with an anti-caking agent, ensuring it stays free-flowing and suitable for use in all types of salt spreaders. This treatment also helps prevent the salt from solidifying during storage, making it ideal for long-term use throughout the winter season.

Brown rock salt is the most common form of ‘grit’ used across the UK. Its natural composition gives it a drier texture, making it easier to spread by hand or machine. With a lower freezing point than water, it’s effective in preventing ice from forming on surfaces such as pathways, patios, and driveways.

It’s also the more sustainable choice, with a lower carbon footprint than imported alternatives, and responsibly mined here in the UK.

Please note:

• Bespoke or custom orders are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled once confirmed.
• We recommend retaining any surplus material, as natural stone and slate may vary in tone and texture, and exact matches are not guaranteed on reorders.
