Product Overview
Calcium Chloride Dihydrate 97% Extra Pure is a highly soluble, hygroscopic crystalline compound widely used in laboratory applications requiring precise moisture control. This grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive chemical reactions and analytical procedures. The dihydrate form provides stable handling and consistent performance in desiccation processes, where its ability to absorb moisture efficiently is critical. Its high solubility in water allows for easy preparation of solutions, while the 97% purity level guarantees reliable results in experimental setups. The compound’s versatility extends to applications in molecular biology, where it serves as a reagent in DNA precipitation protocols. The Extra Pure designation confirms adherence to stringent quality standards, ensuring reproducibility in research and industrial applications. Proper storage in airtight containers is recommended to maintain its hygroscopic properties and prevent clumping due to atmospheric moisture absorption.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Calcium Chloride Dihydrate 97% Extra Pure?
When stored in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container, the product retains its efficacy for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this grade be used for food applications?
This Extra Pure grade is primarily intended for laboratory use and is not certified for food or pharmaceutical applications.
3. How does this compare to anhydrous Calcium Chloride?
The dihydrate form contains two water molecules per formula unit, making it less aggressive as a desiccant compared to the anhydrous version but more stable for general lab use.
4. What precautions should be taken during handling?
Use in a well-ventilated area with standard lab safety gear (gloves, goggles) as the powder can cause irritation to skin and eyes upon contact.
5. Is this product compatible with glassware?
Yes, it can be safely used with standard borosilicate glassware, though prolonged exposure to highly concentrated solutions may require corrosion-resistant containers.
