Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals is dedicated to providing top-quality service at every level of our business. We are proud to offer a plethora of raw materials which include performance chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings intermediates, food & beverage additives, and performance chemicals for industrial manufacturing. One of the more multipurpose chemicals offered by Parchem is Calcium Chloride [CAS# 10043-52-4 (Anhydrous)], a commonly used ionic compound that functions as a desiccant due to its hygroscopic properties. Its desiccant properties are utilized in many different industries including the food industry, where it is used for preservation purposes, as well as many industrial applications including dust control, dye production, and paper manufacturing.
A common use of calcium chloride in the winter is as a core component of road salt. In this application, calcium chloride is used to lower the freezing point of water, thereby helping to melt ice and prevent further ice formation on roads when the temperature drops. Additionally, calcium chloride is sometimes used as a raw material for swimming pool maintenance as an additive to increase overall water hardness. Furthermore, its use in swimming pools is doubly beneficial as it helps prevent the dissolution of calcium compounds in the concrete that forms the pool’s foundation walls.
Parchem’s hallmark in the industry is underscored by its excellence as a reliable supply chain partner. Parchem offers a wide range of other inorganic compounds through our global network of supply chain solution providers.
