Chemical Formula: CaCl₂
Appearance: White crystalline solid (anhydrous) or colorless hygroscopic flakes/pellets (dihydrate, CaCl₂·2H₂O).
Properties:
Highly soluble in water, releasing significant heat (exothermic dissolution).
Strong hygroscopicity (absorbs moisture from air).
Low freezing point in aqueous solutions (useful for deicing).
Non-flammable and non-toxic in standard applications.
Product Application
① Deicing and Anti-Freezing Agent
Roads/Airports: Lowers the freezing point of water, melts ice faster than salt (NaCl), and works at temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F).
Concrete Curing: Prevents freezing in cold weather construction.
② Desiccant (Drying Agent)
Used in industrial drying processes (e.g., gas pipelines, packaging) due to its extreme moisture absorption.
Common in laboratory settings to maintain dry environments.
③ Food Industry
Additive (E509):
Acts as a firming agent (e.g., in canned vegetables, tofu).
Enhances flavor in sports drinks.
Prevents spoilage in cheese production.
Brewing: Adjusts water mineral content for beer brewing.
④ Oil and Gas Drilling
Stabilizes clay formations in drilling fluids.
Increases fluid density to control well pressure.
⑤ Medical Uses
Treats calcium deficiency (intravenous injections).
Used in emergency medicine for hyperkalemia (high potassium levels).
⑥ Water Treatment
Removes impurities (e.g., phosphates) in wastewater.
Adjusts pH and softens water.
⑦ Concrete Accelerator
Speeds up setting time in cold climates.
Reduces dust in cement mixtures.
⑧ Agriculture
Corrects soil calcium deficiencies.
Protects crops from frost damage.
Product Notes
3. Safety Notes
Handling: Wear gloves and goggles; it can irritate skin and eyes.
Storage: Keep in airtight containers to avoid moisture absorption.
Environmental Impact: Overuse in deicing may harm vegetation and corrode metals.
4. Common Grades
Industrial Grade: 74-77% purity (deicing, drying).
Food Grade: 94-97% purity (E509 compliance).
Pharmaceutical Grade: >99% purity (medical applications).

FAQ
Q: Are you a factory or a trader?
Q: What's your MOQ?
Q：How to transport?
A:For chemical products,we generally transport them by sea by full container.If the quantity you purchase does not meet the full container requirements or special products,we will combine them with other goods or pack the special chemical separately.The packing method can be confirmed after placing the order.
Q：How long does it take to deliver to my country re address?
A：Our company's warehouse is in Guangzhou,China,close to Nansha Port and Shenzhen Bay,so it will be shipped by sea from there two ports first.The delivery time depends in your distance from the port.Southeast Asian countries usually take about 5 days,and Oceanian countries usually in about 10 days,it depends on the shipping company,I can make further confirmation based on your address after you place the order
