Calcium Chloride 94%

Calcium Chloride 94% is an ionic compound of calcium and chlorine. It can be produced either directly from limestone or as a by product of the Solvay process. It is hygroscopic in nature and behaves as a typical ionic halide.

Chemical Appearance

Calcium Chloride 94% is a crystalline white solid salt at room temperature. It is highly soluble in water and is deliquescent.

Chemical Applications and Strengths

Calcium Chloride 94%is an extremely efficient chemical compound and therefore, has many industrial applications. Its main applications and strengths are:

Calcium Chloride 94% is used in the petroleum industry it is used in oil field drilling and to stabilise mud layer. It is also used as a lubricant to lubricate the drill. It is used in making the hole plug and fixing the oil well too.
In water treatment Calcium Chloride is very useful because calcium ions precipitate most anions and chloride ions precipitate cations. They can also oxidise ions and this helps purify wastewater.
The solution of Calcium Chloride is a very important refrigerant for refrigeration and ice making.
It is used for deicing and melting snow on roads, expressways, parking lots, and ports.
It is also used for removing and clearing fog and dust from roads etc.
It is used as a dryer for drying gases like nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen chloride etc.
It is used as a dehydrating agent for making alcohol, ester, ether, and acrylic acid.
It helps solidify concrete by increasing its hardness and cold resistance ability of constructions.
It is used as a fireproof agent for textile and coal mines.
It is used as a protective and refining agent in aluminium magnesium metallurgy.
It is also used as a precipitator for making lake paint.
It is used as a raw material for the production of calcium salt.
Storage: It must be stored in tightly sealed, air tight containers
