USP/FCC Grade Ice Melt Calcium Chloride Ice Melt Calcium Chloride

Calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is a versatile inorganic compound with diverse applications across industries. It is widely used as a **desiccant** for air drying and moisture control in storage areas and laboratories. In cold climates, it serves as an effective **de-icing agent** for roads and runways, lowering the freezing point of water. In the **food industry**, it acts as a stabilizer, thickener, and preservative, enhancing products like tofu and canned goods. Medically, it is used as a **calcium supplement** to treat hypocalcemia and as an excipient in pharmaceuticals. Industrially, it functions as a **coolant** in refrigeration systems, a drilling fluid additive in oil extraction, and a water treatment chemical for pH adjustment and impurity removal. Additionally, it accelerates concrete curing in construction and improves soil quality in agriculture as a calcium fertilizer. Its hygroscopic and freezing-point-lowering properties make it indispensable in various fields.
