Being a hygroscopic compound it absorbs moisture and thereafter starts dissolving.
The dissolving process is exothermic and generates heat of up to 60 degrees celsius.
Whilst easily the best ice melt safe for concrete calcium chloride is one the more expensive options.
Though not the best in this regard.
