Calcium Chlorid

Calcium Chloride is an inorganic compound composed of calcium and chlorine. It is a white, hygroscopic salt, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Below are its key properties and applications:

Properties:

• Physical Form:

  Available as a white crystalline powder or in flake form.

• Solubility:

  Highly soluble in water, producing an exothermic reaction (releases heat when dissolved).

• Hygroscopic:

  Effectively absorbs moisture from its surroundings, making it useful for humidity control.

Applications:

1. Winter Road Treatment:

   Used as de-icing salt to melt snow and ice, as it lowers the freezing point of water.

2. Drying Agent:

   Employed to remove moisture from air and materials in various industries.

3. Food Industry:

   Acts as a preservative and is used to improve the texture of foods such as cheese.

4. Chemical Industry:

   Used in the production of other chemicals and as a reactant in processes.

5. Medicine:

   Utilized to treat conditions like hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in the blood).

Safety:

Calcium chloride can irritate the skin and eyes upon direct contact. It is important to handle it with appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and safety goggles.

Summary:

Calcium chloride is a versatile compound with numerous practical applications in industry, food processing, and medicine. Its high solubility and moisture-absorbing properties make it invaluable in many settings.

 

Calcium Chloride can be supplied in bulk and sacks.
