Product Description
Calcium chloride is a colorless cubic crystal, appearing white or gray-white, with granular, honeycomb block, spherical, irregular granular, or powdery forms. It has a melting point of 772°C, a boiling point of 1600°C, and a density of 2.15 g/cm³.
It exhibits extremely strong hygroscopicity and readily deliquesces when exposed to air.
It is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of 74.5 g/100g water at 20°C, releasing a considerable amount of heat (enthalpy of dissolution of calcium chloride is -176.2 cal/g).
Its aqueous solution is slightly acidic.
Calcium chloride is readily soluble in various polar and protonic solvents.

Application
Application
1. In aquaculture, adding calcium chloride to water buffers pH and boosts water hardness. It's a fast method to increase available calcium for aquatic organisms to form shells.
2. In concrete, calcium chloride speeds up curing and enhances frost resistance, but shouldn't be used in reinforced concrete due to steel corrosion risk. Anhydrous calcium chloride adds moisture to concrete.
3. Textile flame retardant.
4. Aqueous calcium chloride is essential for refrigeration and ice-making.
5. Acts as an anti-fogging agent in ports and dust suppressant on roads.
6. Used in aluminum-magnesium metallurgy for protection and refining.
7. Precipitant in chrome pigment production.
8. Helps in de-inking processes in paper recycling.
9. Raw material for calcium salt production.
10. Used as a lubricating oil additive.
11. Acts as a desiccant for drying gases and in various chemical production processes.
12. Used in the food industry as a calcium fortifier, curing agent, chelating agent, and drying agent.
