Calcium
Chloride CaCl2
is an inorganic salt, which exists in a solid form or as a liquid
solution. Solid calcium chloride is a white, crystalline substance
in the form of flake, granule or powder. Depending on the crystallized
water contents, it can be dehydrate or anhydrous. Liquid calcium
chloride is a colourless liquid. Due to it's exothermic properties,
ability to attract moisture from the air and surroundings and
dissolve at a very low temperatures, Calcium Chloride is widely
used in snow and ice melting, dust control, oil and gas drilling,
moisture-absorbing, accelerator for concretes, etc.
