Can Safe Paw or Safe Thaw Be Applied to Metal Roofs Before Snowfall?

When winter storms threaten, many homeowners and building managers take proactive steps to prevent hazardous ice buildup—including applying ice melt to metal roofs. But not all deicers are safe for use on metal surfaces. The big question is: Can Safe Paw or Safe Thaw be used on metal roofs without causing rust or deterioration? The answer is a confident yes..
Unlike conventional ice melts that contain corrosive salts, Safe Paw and Safe Thaw are chloride-free, non-corrosive formulations that will not rust or damage metal. These products are designed to provide effective deicing performance without triggering the electrochemical reactions that cause rust or metal fatigue.
