Calcium Chloride
Calcium Chloride is a white, crystalline compound highly soluble in water, known for its hygroscopic nature. It is commonly used for de-icing, dust control, and as a drying agent due to its strong moisture absorption capabilities. This versatile chemical finds applications across construction, food, oil & gas, and water treatment industries. Its effectiveness in lowering the freezing point of water and stabilizing roads makes it highly valuable in various industrial processes.Chemical Formula: CaCl₂
Chemical Code: CAS 10043-52-4
Used for de-icing roads and sidewalks
Common de-icing agents like calcium chloride and magnesium chloride effectively melt ice by lowering the freezing point of water.Controls dust on unpaved roads and construction sites
Dust control agents, such as calcium chloride and lignosulfonates, are applied to unpaved roads and construction sites to bind loose particles.Applied in concrete acceleration in construction
Concrete accelerators, like calcium chloride, are added to speed up the setting and curing process. They enable faster strength development, reduce construction time, and improve cold-weather concreting performance.
