The role of calcium chloride

Calcium chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt composed of a chlorine element and a calcium element, and is a typical ionic halide. The traits are white, hard fragments or granules. Slightly bitter, tasteless. Used as a multi-purpose desiccant, such as for drying nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide and other gases. Used as a dehydrating agent in the production of alcohols, esters, ethers and acrylic resins. Calcium chloride aqueous solution is an important refrigerant for refrigerators and ice making. It can accelerate the hardening of concrete and increase the cold resistance of building mortar. It is an excellent building antifreeze. Used as an anti-fogging agent and pavement dust collector and fabric fireproofing agent for ports. Used as a protective agent and refining agent for aluminum-magnesium metallurgy. It is a precipitant for the production of lake pigments. Used for waste paper processing and deinking. It is a raw material for the production of calcium salts.
