Uses of Calcium chloride:
 this chemical can be used as desiccant to remove dissolved water. It is also applied to keep a liquid layer on the surface of the roadway, which holds dust down. Additionally, it can be used to prevent ice formation and to deice by depressing the freezing-point. And it is the source of calcium ions that is used to increase the hardness in swimming pools and to introduce bioavailable calcium for calcium carbonate shelled animals. It is used as a food additive and a firming agent used in food. It can also be used in the brewing water to correct mineral deficiencies. Furthermore, it is injected as intravenous therapy for the treatment of hypocalcaemia. And it can be used in hyperkalemia to protect the myocardium from dangerously high levels of serum potassium.

Safety information of Calcium chloride:
When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following: it is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. It is also harmful if swallowed, and risk of serious damage to the eyes. Please do not breathe dust. In case of contact with eyes, please rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Moreover, you should wear suitable protective clothing and eye / face protection to avoid contact with skin.
