Product Description
Anhydrous prismatic calcium chloride, often referred to as "anhydrous light spheres," is a specialized crystalline form of CaCl2 characterized by its smooth, spherical morphology and high-purity structure. These odorless, white spheres exhibit exceptional hygroscopicity, readily absorbing moisture from the air to form hydrated compounds, which makes them highly effective as desiccants in industrial applications. With a melting point of 772°C and excellent thermal stability, they maintain functionality across a wide temperature range, from subzero environments where they act as efficient de-icers (lowering water's freezing point to -55°C) to high-temperature industrial processes.
Manufactured through strict purification and crystallization techniques, these spheres offer a larger surface area for rapid moisture adsorption compared to traditional powder forms, making them ideal for protecting electronics, pharmaceuticals, and other moisture-sensitive materials in sealed storage. Their spherical shape also ensures uniform distribution when used in road de-icing or concrete additives, enhancing freeze-thaw resistance and early strength development in construction. Food-grade variants, compliant with safety standards, serve as preservatives and texture modifiers in the food industry, while their non-dusty nature reduces handling risks, balancing utility with operational safety in various sectors. This physical attribute facilitates easier handling, storage, and application in automated industrial systems, while the high purity (typically exceeding 94% CaCl2) minimizes impurities that could interfere with sensitive processes. From its role in food processing as a preservative and texture enhancer to its use in oil and gas extraction as a brine component for drilling fluids, anhydrous prismatic calcium chloride exemplifies the fusion of chemical purity and specialized morphology to address complex industrial challenges across multiple sectors.

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-IcersExtreme Cold EfficacyMaintains de-icing activity at temperatures as low as -30°C (vs. sodium chloride's efficacy down to -10°C).Releases exothermic heat during hydration, accelerating ice liquefaction.Operational EfficiencyRequires 30-50% less application volume than sodium chloride for equivalent ice melt.
Forms a brine layer that prevents re-freezing, reducing repeat treatments.
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 MitigationTunnel 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 & 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.
