Calcium chloride CaCl2 CAS: 10043-52-4;17787-72-3 Dehumidifying 、Desiccant snow melting 、road deicing 、Cold storage preservative
Basic information
Nature
1. The chemical formula is CaCl2, and its molecular weight is 110.98 g/mol;
2. Anhydrous calcium chloride is colorless crystal and has a high solubility;
3. In the air, it is easy to absorb moisture to form hydrate, which can be dissolved in water, release heat, and form a hot solution;
4. Anhydrous calcium chloride can dissolve or even solidify water at low temperatures, so it is often used as a dehumidifier.
Purpose
1. Accelerate the hardening of concrete and increase the cold resistance of building mortar, which is an excellent building antifreeze
2. Used as a dehumidifier, often used to reduce humidity and moisture absorption environment drying;
3. Used as snow melting agent and road deicing agent;
4. Used as fresh-keeping agent in cold storage to extend the fresh-keeping period of food;
5. In the preparation of anhydrous liquid ammonia, anhydrous ethanol and aluminum chloride and other chemical reactions as a dehydrating agent.
6. Used as chelating agent and coagulant in food industry.
7. Protective agent and refining agent for aluminum and magnesium metallurgy
8. Port fogging agent and road dust collector, fabric fire retardant agent
9. It is a precipitating agent for the production of lake pigments. Used for deinking waste paper processing. It is a raw material for the production of calcium salts
Safety information
1. Anhydrous calcium chloride is irritating. Wear gloves and goggles when handling to avoid contact with skin and eyes;
2. When anhydrous calcium chloride is in contact with water, it will quickly absorb moisture and release a lot of heat, pay attention to avoid burns;
3. During transportation and storage, avoid contact with water or moisture and keep dry;
4. Avoid contact with acids, oxidants and other substances that are prone to reaction, so as not to cause danger;
5. If ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately.
Precautions and Transportation
Transportation precautions: Close operation and strengthen ventilation. Operators must undergo specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter type dust masks to avoid generating dust. When handling, it is important to load and unload with care to prevent damage to the packaging and containers.
Storage precautions: Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. The packaging container must be sealed to prevent moisture. Separate from deliquescent items.
