Calcium chloride desiccant is a kind of high-efficiency adsorption material, the main components are calcium chloride and gelatin starch. Chemically reacts water molecules with calcium chloride to absorb moisture from the surrounding environment and transform it into a gel to achieve an adsorption effect, thus completely eliminating any possibility of leakage. The common silica gel desiccant can only absorb 10%-27% of its own weight, while the calcium chloride desiccant can reach 300%. The moisture absorption rate is 8-15 times that of ordinary desiccants. After fully absorbing moisture, it will not evaporate.
After the ordinary desiccant absorbs moisture, when it encounters high temperature, the water vapor will evaporate and re-enter the air. Because the calcium chloride desiccant can fuse the water vapor and calcium chloride into a gel, it is not easy to evaporate. It can be used in an ambient temperature of -5℃~90℃.
Calcium chloride desiccant has the functions of adsorption activity, static dehumidification and odor removal. It not only has fast adsorption speed, high adsorption capacity, but is also non-toxic, odorless, non-contact corrosive, non-environmental pollution, especially non-harm to the human body. It is widely used in oil seals, optical medical, health food and military products for moisture-proof and dehumidification packaging.
Anhydrous calcium chloride is a commonly used desiccant in industry and laboratories. For example, it is used to dry nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide and other gases, but it cannot be used to dry ethanol and ammonia.
Our company sells anhydrous calcium chloride in large quantities, which is used by customers to make calcium chloride desiccant:
