QEMETICA Technical Calcium Chloride 25 kg – CaCl2
QEMETICA technical calcium chloride (formerly CIECH) – 25 kg bag is a versatile chemical product used for winter de-icing, dust control on unpaved roads and selected industrial and technical applications.
Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is an inorganic chemical compound with strong hygroscopic properties, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from its surroundings. It is highly soluble in water and releases heat during dissolution.
These properties make calcium chloride an effective alternative to conventional sodium chloride (NaCl) road salt, particularly in demanding winter conditions. It is also used in summer to reduce airborne dust on suitable unpaved surfaces.
Calcium Chloride for De-Icing – Effective Winter Performance
Calcium chloride is used to melt ice and frost and reduce slippery winter conditions on roads, pavements, car parks, driveways and other surfaces compatible with chloride-based de-icing agents.
When exposed to moisture, calcium chloride dissolves and releases heat while forming a solution with a lower freezing point. This helps loosen ice and supports the de-icing process under suitable conditions.
Compared with sodium chloride, calcium chloride can offer better de-icing performance at lower temperatures. Actual results depend on ambient temperature, moisture, ice thickness and application rate.
Key Benefits of QEMETICA Calcium Chloride
- Effective de-icing – helps melt ice and frost.
- Low-temperature performance – can outperform conventional road salt under demanding conditions.
- Heat release during dissolution – supports the ice-melting process.
- Strong hygroscopic properties – readily absorbs moisture.
- Solution preparation – suitable for technical applications requiring calcium chloride solutions.
- Dust suppression – helps reduce airborne dust on unpaved surfaces.
- Versatile technical use – applicable in selected industrial processes.
- 25 kg bag – practical packaging for professional use.
Winter Applications – Roads, Pavements and Car Parks
- access roads and internal roads,
- pavements and pedestrian walkways,
- car parks and manoeuvring areas,
- driveways and loading ramps,
- selected outdoor steps and building entrances,
- industrial and warehouse premises,
- other chloride-resistant outdoor surfaces.
Summer Applications – Dust Control and Suppression
Thanks to its hygroscopic properties, calcium chloride is used to control dust on gravel roads, unpaved tracks, storage yards and other suitable surfaces.
By retaining moisture, calcium chloride helps limit the movement of fine dust particles caused by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. When applied using an appropriate method, it can support surface maintenance and improve working conditions.
- Dust control on unpaved and gravel roads.
- Dust suppression in storage and industrial yards.
- Support for maintenance of suitable unpaved surfaces.
- Use in professional dust management systems.
Construction and Industrial Applications
Calcium chloride is used in selected construction and industrial processes. It may act as a setting accelerator in certain cement-based mixtures, provided that its use complies with the relevant formulation, standards and technical requirements.
Important: calcium chloride must not be treated as a universal admixture for reinforced or prestressed concrete. Chlorides can increase the risk of steel corrosion. Any construction application requires confirmation of suitability for the specific technology.
Other Technical Uses
- Moisture control in appropriately designed technical processes.
- Selected drying and moisture-absorption applications.
- Chemical industry and industrial processing.
- Preparation of calcium chloride solutions for technical use.
- Professional dust suppression systems.
