Calcium Chloride Fused Extra Pure is a high-quality, anhydrous form of calcium chloride produced by heating to remove water content, resulting in a dense, granular material with excellent moisture-absorbing properties. It is commonly used in laboratories as a powerful desiccant for drying gases and organic solvents, as well as in thermal and freezing point depression studies. Its high calcium ion content also makes it suitable for use in analytical chemistry, precipitation reactions, and electrolyte preparation. The 95% purity ensures reliable results while maintaining good thermal stability. Proper storage in airtight containers is essential to prevent rehydration and maintain its effectiveness.
Calcium Chloride Fused Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Powerful Drying Agent (Desiccant)
- Commonly used in desiccators, drying tubes, or gas-drying setups for removing moisture from air, gases, and organic solvents.
- Its fused form (melted and solidified) has minimal water of crystallization, making it especially effective in anhydrous conditions.
- Heat Source in Exothermic Dissolution Experiments
- Demonstrates exothermic dissolution when mixed with water — useful in thermodynamics teaching labs.
- Reagent-Grade Calcium Source
- Supplies Ca²⁺ ions in reactions where calcium is needed (e.g., precipitation of calcium oxalate or calcium carbonate in qualitative tests).
Secondary Uses
- Simulation of Hard Water Conditions
- Used to artificially harden water in laboratory water treatment and detergent performance studies.
- Colligative Properties Studies
- Helps illustrate freezing point depression or boiling point elevation concepts in general chemistry labs.
- Hygroscopicity Comparison Experiments
- Included in experiments to compare the moisture absorption efficiency of various desiccants.

FIRST AID MEASURES
- Inhalation:
- Remove the person to fresh air.
- If symptoms persist (coughing, irritation), seek medical attention.
- Skin Contact:
- Wash thoroughly with plenty of water and mild soap.
- Remove contaminated clothing.
- Get medical attention if irritation continues.
- Eye Contact:
- Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open.
- Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.
- Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water.
- Do not induce vomiting.
- Give water to drink. Seek immediate medical advice.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
