ABOUT LAVAGRIP 

LAVAGRIP believes in producing a sustainable and environmentally friendly product that provides safety in the harsh winter months. 

Research has found dissolved road salt and chemicals eventually make their way into our drinking water, altering the sodium and chloride levels, causing health concerns to human beings as well (I.Strell 2011). What alarmed us the most was the fact that these dangers are rarely communicated amongst society and that the problem is too large to expect it to go away on its own. 

That is why we produce and sell LAVAGRIP.  A natural addition to your ice control plan that helps reduce the amount of salt and chemicals used. LAVAGRIP gives instant traction on icy surfaces, ensuring safety during slippery conditions. This calls for fewer application of the product and other ice control products. Plus, better than environmentally friendly road salt, LAVAGRIP is GOOD for both the planet and safety. LAVAGRIP is the eco-friendly ice management solution that is vital to a complete ice control plan. https://www.lavagrip.com/
