Road salt, otherwise known as de-icing salt, is typically just sodium chloride crystals — the same as table salt, but without the addition of iodine or anti-caking agents. Road salt is also a lot coarser and the crystals are much larger than table salt, and is sometimes called rock salt.

Road salt, otherwise known as de-icing salt, is typically just sodium chloride crystals — the same as table salt, but without the addition of iodine or anti-caking agents. Road salt is also a lot coarser and the crystals are much larger than table salt, and is sometimes called rock salt.
It also isn’t as pure as what you use on your food — sometimes it has a brownish gray color, mostly due to mineral contamination and other additives, depending on the brand.
Some other ingredients that may be added to road salt, in addition to sodium chloride, include magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride.
