Calcium Chloride

High-Performance Calcium Chloride for Exothermic De-Icing, Food Firming, and Industrial Water Treatment

Technical Specifications

Calcium Chloride (CAS No. 10043-52-4 anhydrous, 10035-04-8 dihydrate, chemical formula CaCl2) is a highly soluble, extremely hygroscopic inorganic salt supplied in technical and food grades (E509) as solid flakes, granules, or as a 36% concentrated liquid solution. When dissolved in water, it releases a strong exothermic reaction and provides a rapid source of mobile calcium ions for chemical and biological systems.

Commercial Applications & Food Processing

Extensively utilized in the food and beverage sector, Calcium Chloride serves as a vital firming agent and electrolyte in canned vegetables, tofu production, sports drinks, and bottled water. In the construction and infrastructure industries, it is widely applied as a winter de-icer, dust suppressant for dirt tracks, and an accelerating admixture for concrete setting.

Industrial Operations & Infrastructure Support

Across specialized commercial operations, it is deployed in wastewater treatment chemicals, industrial detergents, fertilizers, heat transfer fluids, and plant protection products. Distributed across the UK, Ireland, and Europe in versatile packaging formats including 25L drums, 200kg/220kg drums, 1000L IBCs, 25kg bags, bulk bags, and bulk tanker loads.
