Calcium Chloride (CaCl₂) is a versatile, high-performance chemical widely used across industrial, commercial, and domestic applications. It is a white, crystalline solid with strong hygroscopic properties, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Highly soluble in water and generating heat upon dissolution, calcium chloride is valued for its effectiveness, reliability, and fast action.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Moisture Control: Acts as a powerful desiccant, ideal for humidity reduction and moisture absorption.

  • De-icing & Dust Control: Rapidly melts ice and snow, even at low temperatures, and suppresses dust on roads and construction sites.

  • Industrial Applications: Used in concrete acceleration, refrigeration brines, and as a drying agent in various processes.

  • Food Grade (where applicable): Functions as a firming agent, preservative, and electrolyte in food and beverage production.

  • Versatile Form: Available in flakes, pellets, or powder for easy handling and application.

Common Uses:

  • Road and pavement de-icing

  • Dust suppression on unpaved surfaces

  • Construction and cement acceleration

  • Oil and gas drilling fluids

  • Water treatment processes

  • Food preservation and processing (when food-grade quality is specified)

Appearance: White, odorless flakes, pellets, or powder
Solubility: Highly soluble in water, exothermic reaction on contact
Chemical Formula: CaCl₂

Uses

🏗 Industrial & Construction

  • Dust control & road stabilization – spread on unpaved roads to reduce dust and improve compaction.

  • Concrete accelerator – speeds up setting and strength gain in cold weather.

❄ De-icing & Freezing Point Depression

  • Widely used for de-icing roads, pavements, and airport runways (works at lower temperatures than sodium chloride).

  • Used in brine solutions for refrigeration plants and ice-making.

🍎 Food & Beverage Industry

  • As a firming agent (E509) in canned vegetables, pickles, and tofu.

  • Used in cheese-making to improve curd formation.

  • Restores calcium levels in some drinks (sports beverages, bottled water).

💧 Water Treatment

  • Helps increase water hardness in swimming pools and aquariums.

  • Used to remove fluorides and phosphates in wastewater.

🏥 Medical & Biological

  • Calcium supplementation in cases of hypocalcemia.

  • Used in some IV solutions for electrolyte balance.

  • In labs, it aids DNA uptake by bacterial cells in genetic transformation.

⚙ Other Uses

  • Desiccant / drying agent (absorbs moisture from air).

  • Oil & gas industry – as a drilling fluid additive.

  • Fire extinguishers – in some types of dry chemical extinguishers.
