Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
| CaCl2 Content | 74% min |
| Moisture | 3% max |
| MgCl2 | 0.5% max |
| NaCl | 2% max |
| Insoluble Matter | 0.1% max |
| pH (5% solution) | 7-9 |
| Appearance | White flakes |
| Bulk Density | 800-900 kg/m³ |
These specifications are crucial for industrial applications. The high CaCl2 content of 74% ensures optimal performance in dust control and deicing applications. The low moisture content prevents caking during storage, while minimal impurities (MgCl2 and NaCl) guarantee consistent performance. The neutral pH range makes it safe for various applications, and the controlled particle size distribution ensures uniform application and dissolution.
Key Features and Benefits
- Superior hygroscopic properties enable rapid moisture absorption, making it highly effective for dust control on unpaved roads and construction sites, reducing airborne particulate matter by up to 95%.
- Excellent freezing point depression characteristics provide fast-acting and long-lasting ice melting performance, effective down to -51°C (-60°F), significantly outperforming traditional rock salt.
- Enhanced drilling fluid performance through optimal density control and shale stabilization, reducing drilling time and costs while improving wellbore stability in oil and gas operations.
- Accelerated concrete setting time by up to 33%, allowing for cold weather concrete work while maintaining structural integrity and reducing project delays.
- Efficient dehumidification capabilities in industrial processes, protecting moisture-sensitive materials and equipment while reducing energy costs in drying operations.
- Superior road stabilization properties, increasing surface tension and compaction of road materials, resulting in reduced maintenance costs and extended road life.
- Effective dust suppression in mineral processing and bulk material handling, improving workplace safety and reducing equipment wear while ensuring environmental compliance.
- Versatile water treatment applications, providing optimal hardness control and enhanced flocculation in industrial and municipal water treatment systems.
Applications and Uses
In the agriculture sector, calcium chloride plays a vital role in fruit preservation and processing. It maintains firmness in fruits and vegetables during canning and freezing processes, extends shelf life, and provides essential calcium fortification. The compound's ability to control ethylene production makes it invaluable in post-harvest handling.
Water treatment facilities utilize calcium chloride for hardness adjustment, pH control, and as a coagulation aid. Its high solubility and rapid dissolution make it ideal for municipal water treatment, swimming pool maintenance, and industrial process water treatment. The product helps maintain optimal mineral balance and improves filtration efficiency.
In the food industry, calcium chloride serves as a firming agent (E509), preservative, and mineral supplement. It's essential in cheese making, beer brewing, and vegetable processing. The food-grade variant meets strict purity requirements and complies with FDA and EU regulations.
The pharmaceutical industry employs calcium chloride in various formulations as an active ingredient and excipient. It's used in electrolyte replacement therapy, dialysis solutions, and as a calcium supplement. The compound's high purity and stability make it suitable for pharmaceutical applications.
Industrial manufacturing applications include use as a desiccant in gas drying, accelerator in plastic processing, and electrolyte in refrigeration systems. Its moisture control properties make it valuable in polymer processing and chemical manufacturing.
In construction, calcium chloride accelerates concrete setting, enables cold weather concrete work, and provides dust control on construction sites. It's also used in soil stabilization and compaction, improving ground conditions for construction projects.
