1. Basic Product Information
Anhydrous Calcium Chloride (CaCl₂) is a high-purity inorganic calcium salt, presented as white or off-white fine powder, odorless and slightly bitter. It has extremely strong hygroscopicity and deliquesces rapidly when exposed to humid air. The powder dissolves quickly in water with massive heat release, and the aqueous solution is weakly alkaline. This product is divided intoindustrial grade and food grade. With fine powder texture, fast dissolution speed and stable chemical properties, it is widely used in industrial drying, petroleum drilling, water treatment, food processing and other fields.

3. Product Characteristics
3.1 Industrial Grade Powder
The industrial grade anhydrous calcium chloride powder features stable purity above 94%, fine and uniform powder texture without coarse particles. It dissolves instantly in water with sufficient heat release and stable performance. Equipped with super strong hygroscopic and dehydration capacity, it has low industrial use loss and strong adaptability. Factory direct supply ensures high cost performance, perfectly suitable for large-scale industrial scenarios such as gas drying, petroleum drilling, water treatment and building antifreeze.
3.2 Food Grade Powder
The food grade product adopts a food-level purified production process, with ultra-low impurities and strictly controlled heavy metals, arsenic, and fluoride indicators, fully compliant with national food additive safety standards. The powder is delicate, pure, and uniform, with a clear and residue-free aqueous solution. It is safe and non-toxic for direct food contact, featuring stable coagulation, stabilization, and calcium supplementation effects, meeting the precise processing requirements of the food industry.
4. Main Applications
4.1 Industrial Grade Uses
Industrial Gas Drying: Used for dehydration and drying of industrial gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen and air, with strong and lasting moisture absorption capacity, widely used in chemical purification and laboratory drying scenarios.
Petroleum Drilling Industry: Applied to prepare high-density drilling fluid and completion fluid, effectively balancing formation pressure, stabilizing well walls, preventing formation collapse and clay hydration expansion, reducing drilling risks and improving operation efficiency.
Water Treatment Industry: Serves as water hardness regulator, phosphorus remover, scale inhibitor and flocculation auxiliary for industrial circulating water and wastewater treatment. It can remove heavy metal ions and suspended solids, reduce water turbidity and inhibit pipeline algae and scaling corrosion.
Snow Melting & Anti-freezing: High-efficiency snow melting and antifreeze agent, which can lower the water freezing point below -20℃, widely used for anti-icing and snow removal of roads, airports and factory pavements
·
Construction Engineering: Used as concrete and mortar early strength agent and antifreeze agent to accelerate hardening speed, improve low-temperature structural strength and ensure winter construction quality.
Chemical Dehydration: Ideal dehydrating agent for alcohols, ethers and esters, also used as catalyst carrier and industrial moisture-proof desiccant.
4.2 Food Grade Uses
Soybean Product Coagulation: Professional coagulant for tofu, dried tofu and yuba processing, promoting product forming and improving taste and texture.
Food Processing AuxiliaryUsed as a stabilizer and thickener for fruit and vegetable cans, cheese, and meat products to optimize food texture and extend shelf life.
Brewing Industry: Adjusts water quality, provides nutrients for yeast growth and improves the taste and quality of beer.
Feed Additive: Used as calcium supplement for livestock and aquaculture feed to prevent spasm and promote animal growth.
