Calcium Chloride ice melt

Calcium chloride dihydrate is an odourless white solid in the form of small granules/pellets.It is deliquescent(absorbs moisture from the air) and rapidly dissolves in water producing heat(exothermic).It is commercially produced by the Solvay Process.It has many industrial applications and is commonly used to proevent dusting,as a drying agent and to melt ice.It is used in swimming pools and aquariums 

as a pH buffer and a rapid source of calcium ions.

 

PROPERTIES OF CALCIUM CHLORIDE DIHYDRATE

 

    ---Other names: Calcium chloride ,Calcium dichloride,

 

    ---CAS No: 10035-04-8

 

    ---EINECS No: 233-140-8

 

    ---UN No: non hazardous for transportation

Uses for calcium chloride

 

    ------A drying agent to remove moisture (desiccant).

 

    ------As a brine for refrigeration systems.

 

    ------An ice melting compound both in solid and liquid forms.

 

    ------An accelerant for concrete setting.

 

    ------In reef aquariums to add calcium for growth of coral, clams, algae etc.

 

   ------Increases water hardness in swimming pools helping to prevent erosion of concrete in pools. It also acts as a pH buffer.

 

   -----As an anti dusting agent for floors, roads etc.

 

   -----Added to fabric conditioner formulas to thin down the quaternary surfactants.

 

   -----It is used in self heating cans and heat pads due to its exothermic properties.

 

   Directions for use will depend on intended application.

 

  

 

CALCIUM CHLORIDE FOR ICE MELTING  

 

 

 

This is an efficient method for the removal of ice and snow from paths, drives and walkways. It works by reacting with

 moisture to create heat which instantly starts melting the ice. It reacts 8 times faster than conventional salt and operates

 at temperatures below ~25C. As it penetrates the ice it fractures the structure of the ice which ultimately collapses when

 walked on or driven on.It leaves no corrosive residue like salt which can damage carpets making it ideal for use around

 entrances of offices, nursing homes, factories, car parks, restaurants, schools etc. It also helps to stop ice forming on surfaces

 and can be used for preventative maintenance.

 

To use, simply sprinkle a handful per square metre of ice and let the product get on with it.
