Calcium Chloride Anhydrous Powder (94%)
White fine powder · CAS 10043-52-4
Also see our standard Calcium Chloride Granules (94% Purity, Industrial Grade) page.
Overview
Calcium Chloride Anhydrous Powder (94%) is the highest-purity dry form in our range. With at least 94% CaCl₂, a 2% limit on other chlorides and very low iron, it dissolves fast and gives clean, dense brines, so it is the usual pick for oil-field completion and drilling fluids, cold-weather concreting and effluent work such as fluoride and sulphate removal. If you need lumps for a drying bed, see the 90% anhydrous lumps; if you need a ready solution, see calcium chloride liquid. Supplied by Suraj Chemicals, Chennai.
