What exactly is calcium chloride?
Calcium chloride, often abbreviated as CaCl₂, is a chemical compound known for its strong hygroscopic properties. Simply put, this means that it is a true moisture magnet. It attracts moisture from the air and binds it to itself. This property makes calcium chloride an indispensable product in numerous industrial processes.
Why would an industry need calcium chloride?
Moisture is the enemy: In industry, moisture can be a nightmare. It can lead to corrosion of machinery, mold, loss of product quality and even dangerous situations.
Calcium chloride as a lifesaver: Fortunately, there is calcium chloride. This powerful substance offers a solution in various areas:
- Desiccant: By using calcium chloride as a desiccant, you protect your valuable equipment and materials from the damaging effects of moisture. Think electronics, paper, textiles and more.
- Road salt: Calcium chloride is an effective road salt during the winter months. It melts ice faster than traditional salt, preventing dangerous situations on company premises.
- Food Industry: Calcium chloride is used in the food industry as a stabilizer and thickener. It contributes to the texture of products such as cheese and tofu.
- Construction Industry: In the construction industry, calcium chloride accelerates the hardening of concrete, allowing projects to be completed faster.
Buying Calcium Chloride: What to Look Out for?
When buying calcium chloride, quality is of great importance. Not all products are the same. Pay attention to the following points:
- Purity: The purity of the calcium chloride often determines its effectiveness. Some applications require a higher purity.
- Grain size: Grain size can affect solubility and application possibilities.
- Packaging: Calcium chloride is available in a variety of packaging, from small buckets to large bags. Choose the packaging that best suits your needs.

1. How should I store calcium chloride?
Calcium chloride is hygroscopic, which means that it draws moisture from the air. Therefore, it is important to store the product in a dry and cool place, in the original sealed packaging. Avoid direct sunlight and contact with moisture.
2. What is the difference between calcium chloride and sodium chloride (table salt)?
Both calcium chloride and sodium chloride (table salt) have a moisture absorbing effect. However, calcium chloride is effective at lower temperatures than sodium chloride. This makes calcium chloride a better choice for road salt in the winter. In addition, calcium chloride has several other applications in industry, while sodium chloride is mainly used for consumption.
3. Can I also buy calcium chloride for home use?
Yes! OnlineChemic alien.nl offers calcium chloride in various packaging, including smaller 1kg and 4kg buckets. These are ideal for home use as a desiccant or for defrosting small surfaces.
4. How can I handle calcium chloride safely?
Calcium chloride can cause eye irritation. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling the product. For detailed safety instructions, always consult the product safety data sheet (SDS).
