FAQs
1. What is the difference between anhydrous and dihydrate calcium chloride?
Anhydrous calcium chloride contains no water molecules in its structure, offering higher moisture absorption capacity and faster reaction rates compared to the dihydrate form which contains two water molecules per calcium chloride unit.
2. Can this product be used for food-grade applications?
While this is ACS reagent grade with high purity, it is specifically formulated for laboratory use and does not carry food-grade certifications required for consumable applications.
3. What is the typical moisture absorption capacity of this anhydrous calcium chloride?
Under standard conditions, this ACS grade anhydrous calcium chloride can absorb approximately 100% of its weight in moisture, though actual capacity may vary based on environmental factors.
4. How should I store this product to maintain its anhydrous properties?
Store in a tightly sealed original container with desiccant packs in a cool, dry environment below 25°C, protected from direct sunlight and atmospheric moisture exposure.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Use in a well-ventilated area with appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles, as the anhydrous form can generate significant heat when dissolving in water and may cause skin irritation.
