Solid calcium chloride is a white, substance in the form of prills. Calcium chloride has such properties as quick dissolving, exothermic ability, attracting moisture from the air and surroundings, dissolving at very low temperature. It is widely used in snow & ice melting, dust control, oil & gas drilling, moisture-absorbing, etc.
Shelf Life: Long life is expected in airtight bags.
Calcium Chloride is white, deliquescent prills. It is completely soluble in water and alcohol.
