Calcium chloride is a versatile chemical that is used as a drying agent in industrial gas applications.
Premier Chemicals is a distributor for Occidental Chemical Corporation’s Peladow® DG, an anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) briquette developed specifically for hydrocarbon drying.
Peladow DG harnesses calcium chloride’s deliquescent properties, to absorb water from industrial gases.
At an ambient temperature, anhydrous calcium chloride can absorb its own weight in water, forming hydrated forms of the salt ranging from the dihydrate to hexahydrate.
