     Information  @ a Glance 

• Calcium chloride is a salt that is solid at room temperature, and it behaves as a typical ionic halide.
• It has several common applications such as brine for refrigeration plants, ice and dust control on roads, and in concrete.

Process

• It can be produced directly from limestone, but large amounts are also produced as a by-product of the Solvay process.
• Because of its hygroscopic nature, it must be kept in tightly-sealed containers.

Report

• Calcium chloride are commercial grades of calcium chloride which contain other trace elements and compounds manufactured within the limits defined by The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards.

Application

• It can be used to make a caviar substitute from vegetable or fruit juices or added to processed milk to restore the natural balance between calcium and protein for the purposes of making cheese such as brie and stilton.
• Calcium chloride's exothermic properties are exploited in many 'self heating' food products where it is activated (mixed) with water to start the heating process, providing a non-explosive, dry fuel that is easily activated.
