Calcium chloride CaCl₂ – properties and industrial applications

What is calcium chloride?

Calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is an inorganic chemical compound - a white solid, highly hygroscopic, highly soluble in water. Produced as granules, flakes or aqueous solution.

Key properties

• Technical purity: ≥94% CaCl₂
• Freezing point of the solution: up to –52°C (at 30% concentration)
• Exothermic reaction: releases heat upon contact with water - accelerates the melting of ice

Industrial applications

• De-icing: effective down to -52°C - better than NaCl
• Construction: concrete setting accelerator by 30-50%
• Food industry: acidity regulator (E509)
• Chemical industry: desiccant and electrolyte
