the MSDS for prestone de-icer says 70-80% isopropa( don't mind the spelling) alcohol and then
Most of it's just rock salt, which is coarse crystals of sodium chloride. There are other deicers like urea and calcium chloride, which are much more expensive.

Made?
Man made resources is meant by which is artificially affected and made by man.
Methylated spirits is the commonly used term in Europe to describe what we in North America would refer to as "Methyl Hydrate". For the average citizen, it's best known use is "Fondue Fuel" chocolate, cheese, whatever. The answer then is yes. For the average intermittent user, the least expensive supply is in the paint department of any "Big Box" general merchandiser where it is sold in 3.5l (U.S.gal) for use as a solvent. Small and very expensive bottles are sold as "Gas Line Deicer" and often have some colour added thus they "look cool" and this justifies the double or triple price.
yes it is made from ground.
What is Novacaine made from?
Mostly glycol alcohol.
There are several pond deicer options available for someone to purchase. Depending on the size of the pond or water source a person wants the pond deicer for, the size would make a difference.
you can but are wasting your money
Potassium acetate is not corrosive as chloride salts and it is not a pollutant of soils.
In food or cooking and as deicer on traffic roads and airport runways
YES! its just like putting salt on a snail.
Because salt has chemicals inside that can easily melt snow
NaCl Deicer Melting Rate (mL/min/g) Road Salt (NaCl) 0.13 Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) 0.084 Ethylene Glycol 0.12 Deicer Cost (per kilogram) Road Salt (NaCl) $2.59 Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) $50.24 Ethylene Glycol $8.14
Use the formula A = W/V, where A is amps, W is watts and V is voltage.
We would need to know the wattage of the floated tank deicer to compare. But the difference is likely to depend on how well they are insulated. The tub would probably be easier to insulate (lag), the trough would be more open to the air and lose more heat.
MOTOR DRYER MAY NEED REPLACING
Magnesium Chloride is sold in crystal form for household and business use to de-ice sidewalks. Just find a solid deicer.
