Calcium Chloride has strong moisture absorption ability. When dissolved in water, it releases heat, which makes it suitable for applications involving moisture control, temperature management, and deicing.
Commercial Grades of Calcium Chloride
Calcium Chloride is supplied in different commercial grades according to application requirements. The two most common market grades are Industrial Grade Calcium Chloride and Food Grade Calcium Chloride.
Industrial Grade Calcium Chloride
Industrial Grade Calcium Chloride is widely used in industries requiring moisture absorption, freezing point reduction, and calcium ion supply.
Typical applications include:
• Road deicing and snow melting
• Dust control in mining and construction areas
• Industrial drying applications
• Oilfield drilling fluids and brine preparation
• Water treatment
• Certain concrete applications where chloride use is permitted
Calcium Chloride flakes, granules, and pellets are commonly supplied for industrial users due to their convenient handling and stable performance.
Food Grade Calcium Chloride
Food Grade Calcium Chloride is a recognized food additive with the designation E509 (Calcium Chloride). It is mainly used as a firming agent, stabilizer, and calcium source in food processing.
Common applications include:
• Dairy products and cheese production
• Beverage processing
• Fruit and vegetable processing
• Tofu production
• Food texture improvement
Food Grade Calcium Chloride is produced according to applicable food safety requirements, including standards such as FCC specifications where required.
Main Applications of Calcium Chloride
Deicing and Road Maintenance
Calcium Chloride is widely used for winter road maintenance because it can lower the freezing point of water and help melt ice more effectively. It is commonly applied on roads, highways, and airport surfaces in cold weather regions.
Moisture Control and Industrial Drying
Due to its strong hygroscopic properties, Calcium Chloride is commonly used as a drying agent for controlling humidity in industrial environments, transportation, and storage applications.
Oilfield and Brine Applications
Calcium Chloride is used in oilfield operations for preparing calcium chloride brines and supporting drilling and completion fluid applications where suitable.
Food Processing Applications
Food Grade Calcium Chloride helps maintain product firmness, improve texture, and provide calcium supplementation in various food products.
