Calcium Chloride — Versatile, Moisture-Controlling, Industrial-Grade

Calcium Chloride is a white, crystalline solid or powder that is highly soluble in water. It has a salty taste and is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Calcium Chloride is known for its ability to act as a desiccant, as well as for its high affinity for water, making it a key component in various drying operations.

Uses: Calcium Chloride is frequently used as a de-icing agent on roads and highways to prevent ice formation. It also serves as a desiccant for drying out damp areas and materials. In the food industry, it's used as a firming agent for fruits and vegetables, as well as in the production of cheese. It's also used in aquariums to balance calcium levels.

Industrial Applications: Calcium Chloride finds extensive industrial applications. In construction, it is used to control dust and stabilize soil on dirt roads. In oil drilling, it's used as a component of drilling fluids to increase density. It’s also important in wastewater treatment for removing impurities, and in the textile and paper industries as a sizing agent to enhance dye absorption.

Safety and Handling: Calcium Chloride is generally safe for handling but can be corrosive and irritating in concentrated forms. Always wear gloves and eye protection. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to preserve its desiccant properties.

UN Number: UN 2331 for solid, anhydrous forms; UN 2823 for solution forms.
