Product Description
Definition
Anhydrous calcium chloride, with the formula CaCl2, is an inorganic salt composed of calcium and Cl ions. It is a white, odorless solid renowned for its strong hygroscopic properties, capable of absorbing moisture from the air. This characteristic makes it a crucial compound across various industries.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties: It has a high melting point of around 772°C and boils at about 1600°C. With a density of 2.15 g/cm³, it is highly soluble in water, releasing heat during dissolution.
Chemical Properties: Stable under normal conditions, it can react with certain substances. For example, it forms complexes with some organic compounds and readily hydrates in humid environments, creating different hydrated forms.
1. Production Methods
HCl Reaction: Reacting HCl with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide is a common method. The reaction generates CaCl2, and purification processes remove by - products.
By - product Recovery: In some industrial processes, like the Solvay process, CaCl2 is obtained as a by - product and then refined.
2. Packaging and Transportation
Packaging: Packed in moisture - proof bags or sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption.
Transportation: Transported in covered vehicles to shield from rain and humidity, and separated from reactive materials.
3. Environmental and Safety
Environmental Impact: Excessive release can increase soil and water salinity, but its natural presence mitigates long - term harm.
Safety: Handling requires gloves and goggles as it irritates skin and eyes. Flush immediately if in contact.
4. Storage Methods
Store in a dry, cool area away from sunlight and moisture sources. Keep separate from incompatible chemicals and regularly check containers for damage.
5. Market Information
The market demand for anhydrous calcium chloride mainly comes from construction, de - icing, and food industries. Prices vary based on raw material costs, production scale, and seasonal demand changes.
6. Downstream Industrial Chain
Construction: Accelerates concrete setting, improving construction efficiency.
De - icing: Melts ice on roads and sidewalks in winter.
Food Industry: Acts as a firming agent in food processing.
Oil and Gas: Used in drilling fluids to adjust density and stability.

Application
Desiccant: Thanks to its high hygroscopicity, anhydrous calcium chloride effectively absorbs moisture. It is widely used in storage facilities and shipping containers to protect items like electronics and textiles from dampness.
De - icing Agent: Applied on icy roads, sidewalks, and airport runways, it lowers the freezing point of water, quickly melting ice and preventing refreezing, ensuring safer traffic.
Industrial Helper: In the oil industry, it adjusts the density of drilling fluids. In plastics manufacturing, it dries raw materials to guarantee product quality. It also controls dust in coal - handling areas.
Food Enhancer: As a food additive, it improves texture and extends shelf life. It aids in cheese - making and keeps canned foods firm.
Agriculture and Construction: On farms, it controls road dust. In construction, it speeds up concrete setting, especially in cold weather, strengthening buildings.
