Calcium chloride

nedMag Ca, calcium chloride (CaCl2), is considered to be one of the most versatile chemicals, as its unique chemical and physical characteristics ensure it is used in a variety of applications.

In construction, concrete mixes with calcium chloride realise reduced set times, especially at lower temperatures. In the oil and gas industry, calcium chloride is combined with other high-density chemicals in drilling operations and is used as a completion fluid. During winter, calcium chloride is applied to roads to prevent ice from bonding to pavements, and added to salt and sand to enhance their effectiveness. Calcium chloride’s ability to attract moisture from its surroundings makes it perfect for dust control, road stabilisation and a number of industrial applications.
