Product Description
Anhydrous calcium chloride, an inorganic compound denoted by the chemical formula CaCl2, is frequently processed into a unique variant: anhydrous prickly-shaped pellets. While these pellets maintain a spherical overall structure, their surfaces are adorned with thorn-like textures, creating a distinctive appearance that distinguishes them from other forms of the compound.
A defining characteristic of these anhydrous prickly-shaped pellets is their exceptional hygroscopic nature. They demonstrate a strong attraction to water molecules in the ambient air, enabling efficient moisture absorption. This property renders them essential in numerous scenarios requiring a dry environment. For instance, in industrial storage facilities housing moisture-sensitive materials, they serve to prevent spoilage and degradation by maintaining optimal dry conditions.
Outstanding Hygroscopic Capability
The prickly pellet configuration showcases remarkable hygroscopic efficiency, enabling vigorous absorption of ambient moisture. This stems from two key factors:
A highly porous surface architecture that maximizes water molecule engagement;
Energetic ionic interactions between Ca²/Cl ions and H2O, driving rapid hydration kinetics.
Industrial Moisture Management Applications
Storage of Moisture-Sensitive Materials
Deployed in sealed containers for:
Electronic components (safeguarding circuit boards against corrosion);
powders (preserving stability of hygroscopic active ingredients).
Ambient Dehumidification
Installed in industrial warehouses to:
Sustain relative humidity below 40% RH, suppressing mold proliferation;
Shield machinery from rust damage in coastal or high-humidity zones.

Application
Anhydrous prilled calcium chloride possesses the unique property of lowering water's freezing point, making it a potent de-icing agent. When applied to winter roadways and bridges, it triggers immediate snow and ice melt upon contact. Unlike sodium chloride (common table salt), this calcium chloride variant remains effective even in subzero temperatures, establishing it as a premier choice for cold-region de-icing. Its rapid melting kinetics allow for quick roadway clearance, ensuring unimpeded traffic flow and enhanced safety.
Key Advantages vs. Traditional De-Icers
Concrete Freeze Protection and Curing
Winter Construction Use Cases: As an additive in concrete, prickly pellet powder can depress the freezing point to -20°C, accelerate cement hydration, and safeguard against freeze-thaw damage.
Performance Metrics: When 3% anhydrous prickly pellets are incorporated, concrete attains 75% of its target compressive strength within 7 days at -10°C-whereas the untreated mix reaches only 40% under identical conditions.
Subterranean Moisture Mitigation
Tunnel and Mine Dehumidification: By placing prickly pellets in permeable sacks and suspending them in tunnels, continuous moisture absorption maintains dry air, minimizing equipment corrosion from rock wall seepage. In a gold mine implementation, this approach reduced maintenance costs by 40%.
Packaging Applications: Insert food-grade micro spherical desiccants into packaging for nuts, tea, and biscuits. These desiccants, certified by the FDA, transform into a gel state upon absorbing moisture-preventing dust contamination and extending shelf life to 12 months (vs. 6 months with traditional packaging).
Cold Chain Moisture Control for Fruits & Vegetables
Container Solution: Dehumidification boards are created by integrating spherical desiccants with breathable membranes, capable of absorbing 15L of water vapor per square meter. After a grape exporter implemented this solution, the mildew rate decreased from 15% to 3%.
Packaging & Shipping
1.Calcium Chloride is packaged in 25kg/1000kg PP Woven sacks with plastic liners, or as per customer's request.
2.Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed and away from incompatible materials. Prolonged storage may cause product to cake and become wet from atmospheric moisture.
