32% Liquid Calcium Chloride
is commonly used for winter deicing applications because it combines a low freezing point with a concentration that is higher than other liquid deicers.
Spring and summer dust control applications usually use concentrations of 35 or 38%.
Liquid Calcium Chloride ( CA CL2 ) is also used as an accelerator for ready mix concrete curing, and as an anti-freeze for coal storage and transporation.
This product is widely used in oil field applications as completion and workover fluids to increase density, and as a drilling mud additive to increase density and prevent clay hydration.
It can also be used as a fugitive dust control agent and roadbed stabilizer; a weighing fluid for tractor tires to improve traction; an inexpensive source of calcium in wastewater treatment to remove fluoride and break oil/water emulsions; a low-temperature brine in refrigeration systems, and in the manufacture of pigments and steel.
