Increase in Drilling Activities Expected to Drive Global Calcium Chloride Market: Ken Research
Buy Now The calcium chloride is an ionic compound of calcium and chlorine, which is highly soluble in the liquid. It is commercially available as anhydrous and di-hydrate flakes, pellets, and powder, or with a 30% to 45% solution. The calcium chloride is being produced by the process of refining with naturally occurring brine, neutralizing hydrochloric acid with calcium carbonate, or as a by-product from the Solvay process of synthetic sodium carbonate production. The calcium chloride is primarily used as a de-icing agent. The liquid calcium chloride of up to 35% is used with rock salt for snow and ice control. The calcium chloride reduces the frequent and repetitive application of salt up to 40%. The calcium chloride also remains active for a much longer duration, thereby preventing the ice from bonding to the road or the pavement. Also, Calcium chloride has the lowest freezing point of all types of other deicers including sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, a
