Product Overview
This high-grade 97% calcium chloride powder is a versatile laboratory reagent known for its exceptional hygroscopic properties and solubility. The dried, fine powder form ensures rapid dissolution and uniform dispersion in aqueous solutions, making it suitable for precise applications requiring controlled moisture levels. Its high purity minimizes impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions or measurements. The anhydrous nature of this calcium chloride variant provides superior water absorption capacity compared to hydrated forms, making it particularly effective in desiccation processes. The powder’s consistent particle size distribution enhances handling and dosing accuracy in laboratory settings. This reagent maintains stability under standard storage conditions and is compatible with most common laboratory glassware and plastic containers. The 97% purity level meets the requirements for most analytical and preparative chemistry applications while offering cost-effectiveness for routine laboratory use.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this calcium chloride powder?
The product maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original sealed container under recommended conditions.
2. Can this be used in food-grade applications?
This particular grade is intended for laboratory use only and does not carry food-grade certification or specifications.
3. How does the powder form differ from granular calcium chloride?
The powder form offers faster dissolution rates and more precise dosing capabilities compared to granular variants, making it preferable for applications requiring quick reaction times.
4. What precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Standard laboratory safety measures should be observed, including wearing protective gloves and eyewear, as calcium chloride can be irritating to skin and mucous membranes.
5. Is this product compatible with plastic containers?
Yes, it can be stored in most common laboratory plastics including HDPE and PP containers, though long-term storage in glass is generally recommended for maximum stability.
