Introduction to Calcium Chloride:
Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is an inorganic salt composed of calcium and chlorine, available in powder, granule, or liquid form. It is highly hygroscopic and widely used as a desiccant, de-icing agent, and stabilizer across various industries.
In the food industry, calcium chloride is labeled as food additive E509, used for water hardness adjustment, improving vegetable firmness, and enhancing texture in canned foods. In oil and gas drilling, it controls well pressure and increases fluid density. It also accelerates concrete setting in construction applications and serves as an effective de-icer in winter maintenance.
Rayka Tejarat Diba supplies both food-grade and industrial-grade calcium chloride with high purity and standard packaging. Available in various concentrations, our products are suitable for diverse industrial and commercial applications.
