| CALCIUM CHLORIDE HYDRATE Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Calcium chloride is a colorless to off-white
crystalline solid which is deliquescent (absorb water).
When heated, crystals lose water @ 100C. | | Uses | It is used as a food additive, as an electrolyte, it is used as a buffer in pools, an additive in plastics and in fire extinguishers. It is used as a fabric softener, dust control on roads. Calcium chloride is a soluble compound that can serve as a source of calcium ions in a solution. Calcium plays important roles in many biological processes, including signal transduction, muscle contraction, maintenance of cell membranes and cell wall stability. | | Potential Exposure | Calcium chloride is used as road salt
for melting snow, a drying agent in desiccators, for dehydrating organic liquids and gases, in refrigeration brines
and antifreeze, as a dust-proofing agent, food additives,
concrete hardening accelerator, and others. May react with
strong oxidizers. | | Shipping | There are no label or maximum shipping quantity requirements set by DOT. | | Incompatibilities | The solution in water is a weak base.
Reacts with zinc in presence of moisture, forming highlyflammable hydrogen gas. Dissolves violently in water
with generation of much heat. Incompatible with water,
bromine trifluoride; 2-furan, percarboxylic acid. May
attack some building materials and metals in the presence
of moisture. |
