Calcium chloride is used to prevent food from spoiling, and is often used as a food preservative. It also helps keep food fresh. Pasteurized milk is processed with a lot of calcium removed, and adding a little calcium chloride can help it solidify. Calcium chloride is also an important additive to cheese. Calcium chloride solutions can be used in refrigerators, where they are an essential coolant.
Calcium chloride is solid at room temperature and soluble in water and ethanol at lower temperatures. It should always be stored in sealed containers because it has strong hygroscopic properties. If the compound is exposed to oxygen, it will turn into a liquid form. It can be used to dry other organic liquids, so it is sometimes used as a desiccant.
The compound helps lower the melting point of water, and it melts ice faster than other chemicals, so it can be used to defrost ice on roads and sidewalks in extremely cold conditions. Calcium chloride is also widely used as an additive in the paper industry and a dye in the manufacturing industry. It is also often used as a dehydrating agent in the petrochemical industry because it has the effect of reducing the water content of the compound.
Calcium chloride is also used to reduce dust on roads. It can be added to concrete to increase the speed of hardening. Unlike other compounds, it has no specific hazards. Calcium chloride is exothermic, so when added to a liquid to remove moisture, it releases a lot of heat and the temperature can rise to 60 degrees Celsius. Due to this property, it is widely used in industrial applications.
Calcium chloride has the properties of absorbing moisture from the air, dissolving quickly and releasing heat.
