REF : CALCIUM CHLORIDE 25KG
25kg Bag
Calcium Chloride is a white inorganic salt with the chemical formula CaCl2. This solid chemical product is highly hygroscopic and reacts exothermically when diluted in water. It is commonly found in its dihydrate form CaCl2.2H2O. It is highly soluble in water (745 g/L) and provides good conductivity to the solution.
It is manufactured using various processes (refining of saline waters, mineralization of limestone/chalk with hydrochloric acid, or as a by-product of the SOLVAY process). Calcium chloride is a secondary product of sodium carbonate manufacturing.
It comes in the form of white flakes. We offer it in 25 kg bags, intended for professionals.
Due to its hygroscopic properties, it absorbs moisture from the air. Close the container hermetically to optimize storage.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Widely used for road de-icing or dust suppression, cement manufacturing, and refrigeration unit production.
INDUSTRIAL USE
- Petroleum industry: Fluidifier for oil and gas drilling.
- Concrete industry: Drying accelerator
- Road industry: Dust suppressant.
PROFESSIONAL USE
- De-icing agent: Used on snow, it initiates ice melting at very low temperatures. It has the advantage of not being harmful to vegetation.
- Dehydrating agent (absorber of moisture from air, gases, seeds).
- Dust suppressant (dust fixative on clay tennis courts, construction site paths). Used on certain highways to fix dust on the road.
- Concrete setting acceleration solution (particularly in cold weather).
- Pool professionals: used to increase the hardness of pool water. Check out our full range of pH regulators.
OTHER COMMON USES
Used in air dehumidifiers for residential applications.
USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
To fix dust on paths: apply between 0.6 and 1.0 kg per m².
To improve cement setting: a 2% addition allows achieving setting at 10°C equivalent to that obtained at 20°C.
Caution, this chemical product is highly exothermic. The dilution of calcium chloride in water can reach temperatures up to 60°C.
Calcium chloride salts are highly hygroscopic and have harmful effects on the body: they can cause severe burns. Take all necessary precautions when handling. For your safety and health, wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
