About product

Calcium chloride - agent for chemical snow removal, de-icing of roads, pavements and stairs in the winter. Commonly called ecological road salt due to the low ecological pressure in relation to table salt used as road salt. Prevents dust from accumulating on unpaved roads, sports fields, tennis courts and dirt tracks. In addition, it is used as a drying agent for gases and liquids in chemical syntheses.

Description Safety precautions

Calcium chloride dihydrate, white odorless solid in the form of flakes. Recommended especially as road salt . It is a great alternative to table salt - sodium chloride - especially since it works effectively at temperatures even below thirty degrees Celsius - theoretically up to minus 55. Due to the high heat emission when absorbing water, it not only binds moisture from melting snow and ice, but also actively dissolves it . It does not damage flower beds and permanent green plantings adjacent to roads. Introduced into the soil, it raises its pH, which in our acidic soils improves its structure. Used as road salt, it does not erode the surface, does not affect the natural environment, does not corrode vehicles, does not damage footwear, metals, rubber, sheet metal, and is harmless to humans and animals.

Calcium chloride in the form of a 30% water solution is great as an anti-dust agent on gravel and dirt roads. The amount and composition of the mixture should be selected experimentally, depending on the prevailing conditions and the type of substrate.

Calcium chloride as a water solution is used to load construction and agricultural machinery . Its solutions are resistant to freezing and, unlike other agents, it does not cause erosion and degradation of rubber and rubber derivatives of materials from which tires are made.
