There are three types of rock salts. Regular rock salt, anhydrous calcium chloride salt and magnesium chloride. The magnesium chloride, or mag, is newer and works better at lower temperatures. It is also less corrosive to metals, such as railings. Mag is also easier on the trees and shrubs as compared to the other two salt types.
