Avoid using deicers on your concrete within the 1st year.
Deicers shouldn’t be used to completely rid an area of ice or snow, they’re meant to break the bond between ice and the pavement, making shoveling easier. They work best when there is only a thin layer of snow or ice that must be melted. Deicers are chemical compounds that break up snow and ice by dissolving it through a chemical reaction. Typically, the five chemicals commonly used as deicers are urea or various chloride salts: calcium, magnesium, potassium, or sodium. For locations where chemical deicers aren't appropriate, sand or cat litter can provide some traction but will not melt snow and ice.
Salt is very corrosive to concrete and will eventually, if not immediately, cause damage to many types of concrete. Salt can cause surface spalling of poor concrete or scaling of non-air-entrained concrete.
Concrete's biggest enemy is freeze and thaw cycles. Concrete spalling is actually a result of the pressure created by the repeated freezing and expansion of water or brine over a period of time. Be aware that how the concrete was installed can make a difference in whether or not there would be damage to your concrete. You should avoid using deicers on your concrete within the 1st year of installation.
Products containing ammonium nitrates and ammonium sulphates are especially harmful because they will actually attack the concrete chemically. Using deicers on your concrete driveway in the winter can cause surface damage, primarily scaling and spalling, by forcing the thawing and refreezing of moisture. High quality concrete, that has been created with best practices in mind, is much more resistant to spalling, and this is a good start.
