Description

• Chemical Name: Calcium Chloride / Calcium Dichloride
• CAS Number: 10043-52-4
• Molecular Formula: CaCl₂
• Molar Mass: 110.98 g/mol
• Melting Point: 772 °C to 782 °C
• Assay / Purity: Typically ≥ 94% for anhydrous prills/granules; 30% to 35% for commercial liquid brines.
• pH Range: 7.5 – 11.0 (in 10% aqueous solution)

• De-Icing & Ice Control: Drastically lowers the freezing point of water to melt ice on roads and runways.
• Dust Control: Applied to unpaved dirt roads to trap moisture, binding dust particles to stabilize the road base.
• Construction & Concrete: Acts as an acceleration admixture to drastically reduce concrete curing time in cold weather.
• Oil & Gas sector: Used as a clear brine fluid formulation to increase drilling mud density and shale stability.
• Food Industry (E509): Functions as a firming agent in canned vegetables, tofu production, and cheese-making.

• Rapid Multi-Temperature Action: Melts ice down to -32°C (-25°F), outperforming sodium chloride (rock salt) at lower temperatures.
• Cost-Efficient Maintenance: Suppressing dust reduces road grading requirements by up to 50% and fill-in material use by up to 80%.
• High Thermal Release: The exothermic dissolution process releases heat immediately to accelerate moisture absorption and melting properties

• Hazard Class: Causes serious eye irritation (GHS Category 2A) and skin irritation.
• Handling Precautions: Wear dust-resistant safety goggles, nitrile gloves, and full protective coveralls. Avoid inhaling dust clouds. 
• First Aid Measures:
  • Eye Contact: Flush copiously with water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical assistance.
  • Skin Contact: Wash immediately with soap and plenty of water; remove contaminated clothes.
  • Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do NOT induce vomiting

Storage Requirements: Keep stored in tightly sealed containers inside dry, well-ventilated areas. Completely isolate from moisture and incompatible materials like zinc or strong sulfuric acid.
