CALCIUM CHLORIDE

Chemical Formula: CaCl?
Molecular Weight: 110.98 g/mol
Calcium Chloride is a highly soluble inorganic salt available in flakes, pellets, or powder form. It is widely used for moisture control, de-icing, dust suppression, and industrial applications due to its excellent hygroscopic and exothermic properties. This compound is valued for its versatility, stability, and effectiveness in both industrial and laboratory uses.


Applications

  • De-icing & Dust Control:
    Used on roads, parking areas, and construction sites to melt ice and suppress dust effectively.

  • Moisture Absorber:
    Acts as a desiccant to control humidity in packaging, storage, and transportation.

  • Construction Industry:
    Serves as an accelerator in cement and concrete to speed up the setting process in cold conditions.

  • Refrigeration & Cooling:
    Used as a brine solution in refrigeration systems for temperature control.

  • Food & Pharmaceutical Grade Uses:
    In higher grades, utilized as a firming agent, preservative, and electrolyte replenisher.
