CMA application rates vary according to climate and maintenance practices. CMA is applied at rates similar to road salt, but heavier in the first application and lighter as the storm continues. Typical application rates:
250 to 400 pounds per lane mile
5 to 15 pounds per thousand square feet
20 to 40 grams per square meter

The bulk density of CMA is about 40 pounds/cubic foot compared to 70 pounds/cubic foot for salt. Since CMA is lighter, applications based on weight will appear to have 75% more pellets on the road surface compared to an equivalent application of salt.
