The problem with moisture

Moisture can be a real headache in homes and industries. It spoils food, damages electronics, rusts metal and weakens building materials, shortening product life. Desiccants are the answer, and calcium chloride desiccants stand out for their top-notch performance. Want to know how to keep moisture at bay? Check out our moisture control solutions.

How calcium chloride desiccants work

Calcium chloride, a compound of chlorine and calcium, is a moisture-absorbing champion. It dissolves easily in water; releases small amount of heat and forms a slightly alkaline solution. Its superpower is deliquescence, it pulls moisture from the air and turns it into a gel through a complex physical and chemical reaction, a process well-documented in studies on moisture absorption like this one on calcium chloride’s hygroscopic properties.
This reaction lets calcium chloride bind with water molecules to form crystalline hydrates, absorbing moisture quickly. Tests show that in a sealed space with 80% humidity, our desiccants can drop it to around 40% in no time. Curious about science? Our desiccant technology overview explains it.

What makes calcium chloride desiccants special?

Compared to other desiccants, calcium chloride shines:

  • Fast Absorption: It cuts humidity levels quickly, ideal for high-moisture environments.
  • High Capacity: It can absorb up to 200-300% of its weight in moisture, perfect for tough conditions.
  • Long-Lasting Protection: Keeps working overtime, ensuring products stay dry.

These qualities make it a go-to for industries like food storage, electronics, shipping and construction. See how our desiccants fit into various industrial applications or browse our product catalog to find what you need.
