A Calcium Chloride deicer offers many advantages over traditional de-icing salts (for example rock salt) due to its low temperature performance and fast melting properties.
The absorption of water by Calcium Chloride is an exothermic process. This is advantageous in de-icing applications as the heat generated further aids the ice melting process. In addition, Calcium Chloride forms a hydrated solution with a high salt content as it absorbs the water. This liquid solution has a much lower freezing point than other de-icing products, ensuring that the formation of ice is inhibited to even lower temperatures.
