Throwing sand on the frost

Sand is cheap viable option but you need to be careful not to place too much down onto the surface as this will just become thick and ineffective. This can in some cases become a problem in itself.

Rock Salt, Is it the perfect solution?

Rock salt should thaw the frost quickly allowing the resin driveway to provide more than ample traction to safely leave the driveway.

But why does it work? Ice melts to water at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, rock salt lowers the freezer point of water, this means when ice and salt mix together it will start to melt. Rock salt when applied to frost and ice forms a brine solution and as this brine spreads across the surface more of the frost and ice melts, forming clumps that can easily be removed and cleaned away.
