Calcium Chloride Lumps

About Calcium Chloride Lumps

Calcium chloride lumps are solid, irregularly shaped pieces of the chemical compound calcium chloride (CaCl). Heres a clear description:

Physical Appearance

• White In Colour

• Hard, crystalline structure

• Irregular lump or chunk form (not uniform like pellets or powder)

• May appear slightly translucent

• Can become wet or sticky when exposed to air

Key Characteristics

• Highly hygroscopic absorbs moisture from the air

• Deliquescent can absorb enough water to dissolve into a liquid brine

• Odorless

• Salty and slightly bitter taste (not for consumption unless food-grade)

Common Uses

• Moisture absorber / desiccant

• De-icing roads and sidewalks

• Dust control on roads

• Concrete acceleration in construction

• Industrial drying processes

Chemical Properties

• Chemical formula: CaCl

• Highly soluble in water

• Releases heat when dissolved in water (exothermic reaction)

If youd like, I can also provide a technical specification style description (for product listing or MSDS format).

Versatile Industrial Applications

Calcium Chloride Lumps are widely used in numerous industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, oilfields, water treatment plants, and the manufacture of paints. Thanks to their high solubility, quick moisture absorption ability, and reliability, they efficiently serve as desiccants, de-icers, coagulants, and stabilizing agents. Their non-toxic nature makes them suitable for both industrial and certain food-grade applications.


Safe Handling and Packaging

These lumps are packaged securely in HDPE bags or drums to prevent contamination and moisture ingress. Their non-combustible and non-poisonous characteristics ensure safe storage, handling, and transportation. Proper storage in a dry environment at room temperature will maintain product integrity for up to 12 months, minimizing risks in usage across facilities.
