About this file
This is a material specification document issued by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) for Grade 1 and Grade 2 sodium chloride (salt) products to be used as deicers on roadways and for road maintenance activities. The specification establishes requirements for salt meeting ASTM D632 standards and defines material master numbers for multiple packaging options, including 50-pound sacks, 80-pound sacks, 2,000-pound super sacks, and bulk supply. Upon receipt, all salt must be free-flowing, usable, and compliant with specified requirements. Identification markings on all packaging must include the producer/manufacturer name, net weight, grade designation, and material contents.
The specification establishes detailed packaging requirements, with 50-pound and 80-pound sacks requiring moisture-proof construction and 2,000-pound super sacks requiring moisture-proof, tear-resistant design with minimum 2,000-pound capacity, duffle tops, bottom spouts, and attached lift straps suitable for forklift handling and stacking. Material acceptance is based on visual inspection, with sampling and ASTM D632 testing performed only when material quality is questioned. Sample sizes vary by packaging type: one quart from 50- or 80-pound supplies and 50 pounds from 2,000-pound or bulk supplies. Both Grade 1 and Grade 2 salt must contain a minimum of 95.0 percent sodium chloride by weight. Sieve analysis requirements differ between grades, with Grade 1 having more restrictive specifications for certain sieve sizes; when testing is performed by the purchaser, a 5 percentage point allowance applies to maximum values for specific sieve sizes.
