Calcium chloride is an inorganic salt, which exists as solid or liquid. solid calcium chloride is a white, crystal substance in the form of flake, granule, pellet or powder. with different crystallized water contents, it can be dehydrate or anhydrous. liquid calcium chloride is a colorless, clear solution. as calcium chloride has such properties as quick dissolving, exothermic ability, attracting moisture from the air and surroundings, dissolving at very low temperature, it is widely used in snow & ice melting, dust control, oil & gas drilling, moisture-absorbing
According to the content of crystal water in calcium chloride:
(1). Calcium chloride dehydrate
a. Calcium chloride flake dehydrate 74%min; 77%min;
b. Calcium chloride granule/pellet dehydrate 74%min; 77%min
(2). Calcium chloride anhydrous
a. Calcium chloride powder anhydrous 94% min
b. Calcium chloride pellets anhydrous 94%-97% min
according to grade:
(1). Calcium chloride industrial grade
(2). Calcium chloride food grade
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.
