Calcium chloride, composed of chlorine and calcium, has the chemical formula CaCl2. It is a typical ionic halide and is a white solid at room temperature. Applied to brine used in refrigeration equipment, road melting agent and desiccant, etc. Because it is easy to absorb water and deliquescence in the air, anhydrous calcium chloride should be stored in a sealed container. Calcium chloride and its hydrates and solutions have important application values in food manufacturing, building materials, medicine and biology.

Calcium chloride dihydrate is a white or gray chemical, mostly in granular form. The most widely used calcium chloride dihydrate in the market is as a deicing agent.

Chemical properties

The appearance of calcium chloride dihydrate is colorless crystals, and the general products are white, off-white or slightly yellow crystals, which are bitter and astringent, and have strong deliquescence. The relative density is 1.835. Soluble in water, its aqueous solution is neutral or slightly alkaline, corrosive. Soluble in alcohol, insoluble in ether. When heated to 260°C, it dehydrates and becomes anhydrous. Other chemical properties are similar to anhydrous calcium chloride.

Product Usage

Use 1: Used as a refrigerant, also used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, etc.

Use 2: It is used as a calcium fortifier, chelating agent, curing agent and refrigerant for freezing in the food industry.

Use 3: as feed calcium supplement.

Use 4: As a coagulant, my country stipulates that it can be used in an appropriate amount in soybean products according to production needs.

Use 5: Used as refrigerant (such as frozen brine for refrigerators, frozen brine for ice making and popsicle making), antifreeze, antifreeze for automobiles, and fire extinguishing agent. Flame retardant for melting ice and snow, finishing and finishing of cotton fabrics. Used as adhesives and wood preservatives. It is the raw material for the manufacture of anhydrous calcium chloride. Used in wall painting and plastering operations to increase condensation capacity. Rubber production is used as a coagulant. A mixed starch paste is used as a sizing agent. It is also used in non-ferrous metal smelting. Used as medicine.

Use 6: Oxygen and sulfur absorbent. Food protectant. Sizing agent. water purifier. antifreeze.
