Calcium chloride is widely used as a de-icer and dust control agent on roads, highways and parking lots. It releases heat upon contact with water and effectively inhibits ice formation.
With strong hygroscopic properties, it serves as an efficient desiccant for gases including nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and sulfur dioxide.
As a cement additive, it lowers the decomposition temperature by approximately 40°C, optimizing cement production.
In refrigeration systems, calcium chloride brine is used as a secondary refrigerant, with a freezing point as low as -20 to -30°C.
In construction, it accelerates concrete setting and hardening, while enhancing the strength of mortar.
