Product Description
Anhydrous or Calcium Chloride Fused is very hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture. It is also deliquescent, thus it is employed as a drying agent in a desiccator. Because concentrated sulphuric acid is hygroscopic, it takes moisture from the air and dilutes it, acting as a drying and dehydrating agent and therefore being employed in a desiccator. Fused relates to the fact that this porous mass has been granulated but not scattered in order to enhance the surface area and enhance its dehumidifying capabilities.
Extensive Industrial and Commercial UsesCalcium Chloride Fused finds extensive application in moisture control, road de-icing, dust suppression, refrigeration, oil & gas industry operations, and as a concrete accelerator. Additionally, it serves as a food additive, offering reliable preservation and texturizing capabilities across various food processes.
Superior Quality and SafetyProduced through fusing and dehydration, this product maintains a purity of at least 94% and is free from heavy metals or specified adulterants. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for intended applications. Its stable and non-poisonous nature, coupled with robust packaging, ensures safety during transportation and handling.
Customizable and AdaptableOffered in customizable particle sizes (lumps, flakes, or granules), Calcium Chloride Fused meets the needs of diverse applications. With a shelf life of up to two years when stored appropriately, it remains effective and maintains its integrity even in varying environmental conditions.
FAQ's of Calcium Chloride Fused:
Q: How should Calcium Chloride Fused be stored to maintain its effectiveness?
A: To ensure optimal performance and shelf life, store Calcium Chloride Fused in airtight containers, away from moisture and acids, in a cool and dry location. Proper storage extends its usability for up to two years.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Calcium Chloride Fused as a desiccant or de-icing agent?
A: As a desiccant, its highly hygroscopic and deliquescent nature enables efficient moisture absorption. For de-icing, its exothermic reaction upon contact with water quickly melts ice, making it highly effective for winter road management.
Q: When is Calcium Chloride Fused commonly used in industrial processes?
A: It is widely used in industrial applications requiring moisture control, dust suppression, concrete acceleration, and oil & gas processes. Its reliable performance and safety make it suitable for frequent use in these sectors.
Q: What is the process of manufacturing Calcium Chloride Fused?
A: Calcium Chloride Fused is produced by fusing and dehydrating a calcium chloride solution under controlled conditions, resulting in solid fused lumps or flakes with high purity.
Q: Where can Calcium Chloride Fused be applied beyond industrial uses?
A: Beyond industrial uses, it is utilized in the food industry as a firming agent and preservative, in refrigeration systems, and for moisture absorption purposes in packaging and storage environments.
Q: Is Calcium Chloride Fused safe to handle and use?
A: Yes, when used and handled according to guidelines, it is generally recognized as safe for its intended applications, non-poisonous, and is not regulated as a dangerous good under the UN system.
