Product Overview
Calcium Chloride Dihydrate 99% AR is a highly purified, crystalline powder designed for laboratory applications requiring precision and reliability. With an Analytical Reagent (AR) grade certification, this compound ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for critical processes such as moisture absorption, dehydration reactions, and chemical synthesis. Its hygroscopic nature allows it to effectively control humidity in sealed environments, while its solubility in water enables easy preparation of aqueous solutions. The dihydrate form provides stability during storage and handling, reducing the risk of caking or degradation over time. Whether used as a desiccant in storage containers or as a reagent in analytical procedures, this product delivers consistent performance. The 500 g pack size offers convenience for both small-scale experiments and bulk applications, ensuring cost-efficiency without compromising quality. Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its efficacy.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Calcium Chloride Dihydrate 99% AR?
When stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, it remains stable for up to 2 years.
2. Can this be used for food-grade applications?
No, this is an AR-grade chemical intended strictly for laboratory and industrial use, not for food or pharmaceutical applications.
3. How does this differ from anhydrous Calcium Chloride?
The dihydrate form contains two water molecules per Calcium Chloride unit, making it less aggressive as a desiccant but more stable for general lab use.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling?
Wear gloves and safety goggles to avoid skin and eye irritation, and work in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of dust.
5. Is this compatible with organic solvents?
It is primarily soluble in water and polar solvents like ethanol but may have limited solubility in non-polar organic solvents.
