Calcium chloride is a white crystalline chemical compound with the formula CaCl2, widely used for its versatile properties in various industries. It is a highly hygroscopic substance, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, making it effective for dust control on roads and as a de-icing agent to prevent the formation of ice on roadways in cold climates. Calcium chloride also finds application in the food industry as a food additive, primarily as a firming agent in canned vegetables and as a calcium source in certain food products. In addition to its industrial and culinary uses, it is employed in concrete production to accelerate the setting time of cement and in drilling fluids for oil and gas well drilling. Its ability to control moisture, lower freezing points, and serve as a calcium supplement underscores its importance across multiple sectors.
CALCICOATTM calcium chloride (CaCl2) is a white, high purity granules with 94 to 97 weight percent CaCl2. It has the following features when compared to its nearest competitor:
When sprayed, the shape of granules makes them more controllable than powder shape.
Higher concentration of calcium chloride gives a higher heat of dissolution, promoting faster melting and higher penetration rate as a deicer.
CALCICOATTM Calcium chloride is used in petroleum industry as drilling mud additive and drying petroleum fractions, in cement manufacture to low alkali and acting as a source of chloride. To melt the Highway ice for sidewalks, parking lots and driveways. This high energy should be sprinkled lightly and evenly over ice surfaces at an application rate of about 2 pounds per 200 square feet. Thawing begins immediately.
