Calcium chloride for containers

The primary raw material for calcium chloride desiccants—calcium chloride—is refined through a series of processes including reaction synthesis, filtration, evaporation and concentration, and drying, using high-quality calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid as starting materials. It appears as a white, porous solid in block, granular, or honeycomb-like forms. It has a slightly bitter taste and is odorless. Its aqueous solution is colorless. This desiccant is primarily used as a raw material for the production of various other calcium salts in inorganic chemical industries; it also serves as a desiccant for gases and as a dehydrating agent in the manufacture of alcohols, esters, ethers, and acrylic resins. In the food industry, it is employed as a calcium fortifier, a coagulant, a chelating agent, and a desiccant. Calcium chloride desiccants exhibit effective static moisture absorption and odor removal properties. They not only adsorb rapidly and have high adsorption capacity but are also non-toxic, odorless, non-corrosive upon contact, and environmentally friendly—particularly harmless to humans. As such, they find wide application in oil seals, optical and medical devices, health foods, and military-industrial products.
