Calcium Chloride Flake

General Description

Calcium Chloride 77-80%, is a flaked calcium chloride dihydrate product.

Applications

Calcium Chloride 77-80% is primarily used for dust control of unpaved roads and parking lots, and as a deicer. Industrial applications include concrete acceleration, tire weighting, brine refrigeration systems, waste water treatment, and as a calcium source for chemical processing.

Many applications of Calcium Chloride require the material to be put into solution.

Availability

Calcium Chloride 77-80% is available in various package sizes and in bulk truck and bulk rail. Custom packaging sizes may be available upon request.

Safety and Handling

For brief contact, no precautions other than clean body-coving should be needed. Selection of specific items such as goggles, gloves, and apron will depend on the operation. Eye/face protection is recommended for dusty operations or when handling solutions.
Appropriate ventilation should be in place to keep atmospheric levels below industrial hygiene guidelines (10 mg/cu. meter).
Rubber boots and gloves are recommended, due to the adverse effect of calcium chloride on leather.
Calcium chloride generates a great deal of heat when it is dissolved. Use cool (less than 80^oF/26^oC) water when making solutions.
