Calcium Chloride Anhydrous
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.
