Industrial Chemicals
Calcium Chloride
CaCl2
Hygroscopic inorganic salt used for de-icing, dust control, concrete acceleration and brine applications.
- Chemical name
- Calcium chloride
- CAS number
- 10043-52-4
Product overview
Calcium chloride is a highly soluble, hygroscopic salt that releases heat as it dissolves. These properties make it a practical choice for de-icing, dust suppression and moisture control, and a common calcium source in industrial brines.
In construction it is used to accelerate concrete setting in cold conditions, while process industries use it in drilling fluids, refrigeration brines and water hardness adjustment. Food processing applications require an appropriate food-grade material.
Applications
- De-icing & dust control
- Cement, concrete & mortar
- Oil & gas
- Swimming pool water
- Food processing
- Chemical manufacturing
