Problems with pathclear

I went to my local hardware store to buy some pathclear and was told that it no longer contained the same chemical due to environmental restrictions, and that the new replacement stained paths so couldn't be recommended for anything other than gravel. Has anybody else heard this or know any more details?

Many thanks

I recently found a source of pure Sodium Chlorate by mail order from abroad at £36 a lb so I don't use path clear anymore.

I don't know if the new mix stains paths, but it is certainly true that
the old effective formulation was withdrawn for domestic use.
