Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Calcium Chloride Anhydrous
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade), 1 kg pack. Featuring superior purity and minimal moisture content, essential for precise moisture-sensitive laboratory applications.
Physical Properties: Odorless, white granules or powder.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water with a strong exothermic reaction (releases significant heat). Soluble in ethanol.
Key Use: Primarily used as a powerful desiccant for drying gases, solvents, and keeping desiccators moisture-free. Also used as a reagent in organic synthesis and analytical assays.

Safety & Hazards

Classification: Causes serious eye irritation
Health Risks: Direct contact with skin can cause thermal burns (due to exothermic reaction with skin moisture) and severe dryness. Eye contact leads to intense irritation and potential damage if not treated.
Chemical Warning: Dust inhalation may irritate the respiratory tract. Use caution when dissolving large amounts in water due to rapid heat generation.
First Aid Measures: Immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Extremely Hygroscopic and Deliquescent. It will rapidly absorb atmospheric moisture and dissolve into a liquid if exposed. Must be stored in a cool, dry place in a strictly hermetically sealed container.
Precautions: Wear standard PPE, including chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles. Keep the container tightly closed at all times.
