Almost every pet owner knows the importance of keeping their furry friend warm and safe during winter. While there are many products on the market that can help with this, most are not very eco-friendly. ECO-ST has developed a new de-icer that is made with pets in mind. The deicer is safe for animals to walk on and won’t harm their paws.
How do de-icers harm pets?
De-icers are typically made with either magnesium or sodium chloride, which is poisonous for animals in large doses. What’s more, many deicers harm pets’ paws by burning them or causing sores. No pet owner wants to cause their pets any pain, and so many look for alternatives. But, it can be a challenge to find deicers that are environmentally conscious and pet friendly but still just as effective at melting ice as traditional deicers. This is where STAR’S TECH de-icers come in.
How is ECO-ST safe for pets?
ECO-ST uses starfish extract as a biowaste product and since it is natural it also doesn’t place a lot of stress on the environment and animals, while ensuring powerful melting performance all at the same time.
The benefits of using a pet-friendly deicer
If you have a pet then ECO-ST’s de-icer is perfect for you. Not only is it safer and minimizes environmental damages but its naturally occurring ingredients also mean that it will keep your flooring in good shape too. The starfish extract breaks down the ice crystal structure so there isn’t any leftover residue on your flooring. The de-icer also has anti-corrosive properties, as the starfish extract interacts with chloride ions, which means that it won’t damage your flooring over time.
What is STAR’S TECH ECO-ST de-icer made of?
The secret to ECO-ST’s eco and pet-friendlier deicer is the starfish extract that is used in its production. The porous make-up of the starfish extract allows the deicer to adsorb chloride ions from the ground. Chloride ions are harmful to the soil and the vegetation, and they corrode infrastructure as they build up over time. Typical de-icers contribute to this dangerous chloride ion build-up; in contrast, ECO-ST removes this toxic chemical and provides a clean and sustainable solution.
STAR’S TECH deicer has a bead-like structure rather than a rough one. All these materials and the innovative design make this deicer much safer for your pets to step on, and won’t cause any burns or injuries.
The ECO-ST de-icer is fine for pets and is less damaging to the environment in many ways. Its chloride adsorption protects plants and wildlife, ensures it doesn’t pollute waterways and poses less threat to marine or aquatic life. This pet-friendly and eco-friendly de-icer not only provides a safer solution to de-icing but also has less harmful side effects like other salts on the market today. If you’ve ever struggled to de-ice your steps, driveway or walkway in winter weather with pets and children around – then ECO-ST is the solution.
