Calcium chloride is a chemical consisting of chlorine and calcium with the formula CaCl2. It is a colorless cubic crystal, the appearance of blocky, flake, granular, spherical, powdered solid, slightly toxic, odorless, slightly bitter taste. Calcium chloride releases a lot of heat when dissolved in water, has strong hygroscopic properties, and is easily deliqued when exposed to air. Soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, acetic acid, hydrazine and other polar or protic solvents, but insoluble in low polar or non-polar solvents such as ether, tetrahydrofuran and so on.

Calcium chloride is widely used in industrial and food fields. In industry, it is mainly used in oil drilling, desiccant, snow melting agent, dehydrating agent, refrigerant, antifreeze, early strength agent, dust collector, fogging agent, fire retardant, water treatment agent, refining agent, precipitating agent, coagulant, coagulant, fertilizer granulation, etc., and is also the raw material for the production of other chemical products. In addition, calcium chloride is also used in brine for refrigeration equipment, water treatment agents, road deicing agents and desiccant. In the field of food, calcium chloride as a widely used food additive, generally used in beverages, as an electrolyte, enhance palatability, used in pickled foods, can reduce the use of salt, used in cans, can occur gelatinization, enhance the consistency of sugar porridge, can be used to point tofu, improve the tenderness of tofu.
