Premier Chemicals specialises in the bulk supply of Calcium Chloride to industry.

Calcium Chloride is a versatile salt with many applications in industries as diverse as pharmaceutical and medical, industrial, and food.


Absorption
Much of its versatility comes from Calcium Chloride’s deliquescent properties, which means it actively absorbs water until it becomes liquid. At ambient temperature Anhydrous Calcium Chloride absorbs its own weight in water, forming hydrated forms of the salt ranging from the dehydrate to hexahydrate. This process makes Calcium Chloride ideal for use as a desiccant – for example in gas drying applications. 

De-icing
The solubilisation of Calcium Chloride in water is also exothermic. This combined with it’s hygroscopic properties means it is used widely in de-icing applications. 

Food, medical and water treatment
Calcium chloride is also used as a readily available source of Calcium ions in applications such as food additives, medical treatments, and water treatment.

Dust Control
Other applications include dust control on roads, completion fluids for the oil and gas industry, and as an additive to concrete to aid rapid hardening.
