10043-52-4 | Calcium Chloride

Chemical type

• Inorganic salt (anhydrous)

^[1]

• Inorganic hygroscopic salt

^[2]

Key properties

• Cross-linking agent for polysaccharides
• Influences porosity and compressive strength (higher concentrations lead to compact structure)
• Used in concentrations of 5-20 wt% to tune properties
• Affects moisture adsorption and latent heat balance in composites

^[1]

• Purity 94-97% (anhydrous mini pellets), forms expansive phases like calcium oxychloride (CAOXY) at concentrations ≥13.6%, promotes physical degradation during freezing (13.6% solution) and chemical attack during wetting (21.9% solution), pH 6.0-8.0, exacerbates frost damage and corrosion

^[2]

• Cross-linking agent to form calcium alginate from sodium alginate
• Prepares gel microspheres via dripping method
• Optimizes HPCC properties (e.g., 15 wt% for balanced latent heat, conductivity, and adsorption)

^[1]

• De-icing salt for transportation infrastructure; used in testing to simulate aggressive combined exposures (freeze-thaw, wet-dry, carbonation) leading to complex concrete degradation

^[2]

Classification by use

• Cross-linking agents
• Inorganic reagents in gel synthesis
• Additives for material property tuning

^[1]

• De-icers for cold-region pavements and bridges
• Chemical aggressors in durability testing of construction materials
