Calcium Chloride....Gas Grade
We have actively assisted Dissolved Acetylene Gas manufacturers and
developed the right grade of Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) which drastically
reduces the Poisoning of Cylinders. This grade of Calcium Chloride
(CaCl2) can also be used for desiccating other gases.
Calcium Chloride....Desiccation of Solvents & Gases
We have actively assisted several Solvent manufacturers, Dissolved Acetylene Gas
manufacturers and developed the right grade of Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) which drastically reduces the
Poisoning of Cylinders. Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) grades suitable for any density of Solvents, for use in Azotropic or Azeotropic Distillation Desiccation
Hydrocarbon Drying and Drying of any type of Gases are offered.
Calcium Chloride....Heat-Treatment Salt Grade
Our group was a manufacturer of Heat-treatment Salts, manufacturing under
Die-Hard brand name. We are totally equipped to offer the best grade of Calcium
Chloride (CaCl2) .
Calcium Chloride....Cement Paint Grade
Our association with Cement Paint manufacturers is since last 35 years. We can
suggest the best and/or economical grades of Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) for Cement Paint Industry. Use of 2%
Calcium Chloride in Cement or Cement Paint is very beneficial in getting good
hardness in very less time of curing.
Calcium Chloride ...Graphic Grade
A quickly soluble grade is offered for this use.
Calcium Chloride...Refrigeration or Brine Grade
A
Brine may be defined as liquid of low freezing point used in transmission of
refrigeration without change of state. The brines commonly employed in
refrigeration are Calcium Chloride and Sod. Chloride. Sod. Chloride is
cheaper but cannot be used below minus 150C.
Calcium Chloride of commercial grade can operate satisfactorily upto minus 400C.
Use of Calcium Chloride above 33% should be avoided as it results in
crystallization resulting in reduced efficiency. The material selected
should be adjusted to pH of around 8 and it should be free from free-acid and
dirt. Coloured CaCl2 material should not be used as it results in corrosion and
scaling of the tubes. For the same reason by-product material is not
desirable as it contains Organic Chlorides which may break into Hydrogen
Chloride.

Calcium
Chloride – General Information
Millions of
tons
of calcium chloride are made each year across the globe, and it has a wide
variety of industrial applications.
Because
Calcium Chloride. (CaCl2)
is strongly
hygroscopic,
air
or other gases may be channeled through a column of calcium chloride to remove
moisture. In particular, calcium chloride is usually used to pack
drying tubes
to exclude atmospheric moisture from a reaction set-up while allowing gases to
escape.
Calcium Chloride. (CaCl2)
is used in Friedel Craft Reaction,
Azotropic or Azeotropic Distillation, Desiccation & Karl Fischer.
Calcium Chloride.
(CaCl2)
can also be added to liquids to remove suspended or dissolved water.
The dissolving process is highly
exothermic
and rapidly produces temperatures of around 60 °C
(140 °F).
In this capacity,
Calcium Chloride. (CaCl2)
is known as a drying agent or
desiccant.
We can offer Calcium
Chloride for Dissolved Acetylene (DA) gas cylinder filling which minimizes
poisoning of cylinders, for Desiccation, for Solvent Drying, for Cement Paint,
for Photography/Printing, for Plastics, for Refrigeration, for Heat Treatment
Salt manufacture, for Cement Hardening or Accelerator, for De-icing or Ice
Melting, and for Dust Control applications.
Calcium
Chloride Uses in Food
As an ingredient, calcium chloride is
listed as a permitted food additive in the European Union for use as a
sequestrant
and firming
agent with the
E number
E509. The anhydrous form of calcium chloride has been approved by the FDA as a packaging aid to
ensure dryness (CPG 7117.02).
Calcium
Chloride is commonly used as an
Electrolyte
and has an extremely
salty
taste, as found in sports drinks and other beverages such as
Smartwater
and Nestle
bottled water. Calcium chloride can also be used as a preservative to maintain firmness in
canned vegetables or in higher concentrations in
pickles
to give a salty taste while not increasing the food's
Sod.
content. Calcium chloride is even found in snack foods, including
Cadbury
Caramilk chocolate bars (purpose unknown).
Calcium Chloride
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.
In brewing
beers (esp. ales and bitters), calcium chloride is sometimes used to correct
mineral deficiencies in the brewing water (calcium is important for enzyme
function during the mash, for kettle protein coagulation (the "hot break") and
yeast metabolism) and adds permanent hardness to the water. The chloride ions
in Calcium Chloride. (CaCl2)
enhance flavour and give a perception of sweetness and fuller flavour, whereas
the sulfate ions in
Gypsum,
which is also used to add calcium ions to brewing water, tend to impart a drier,
crisper flavour with more bitterness.
Calcium Chloride is also used in
making cheese. It improves curd size and texture when using store bought
milk. One teaspoon of 30% solution will treat 2 gallons of milk. To
compensate for the processing of store bought milk, add calcium chloride
prior to adding rennet to the cheese mixture. The addition of calcium
chloride will help restore the altered milk protein and aid in the
development of a quality curd.

Potassium
Chloride Uses
The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making
fertilizer, since the growth of many plants is limited by their
potassium intake. As a chemical feedstock potassium chloride is used for the manufacture of
potassium hydroxide and
potassium metal.
Potassium chloride finds application in Muds & Chemicals for Oil
Well Drilling. Potassium chloride is also used in
medicine,
scientific applications.
Potassium chloride is used in
food
processing, as a sodium-free substitute for
table
salt (Sod.
chloride).
Potassium chloride is also used in medicine.
Orally,
Potassium chloride is toxic in excess.
Potassium chloride can react as a source of
