Anhydrous calcium chloride strongly absorbs water, so it is packed into calcium chloride tubes, absorption towers and desiccators to keep gases and samples dry; it is not used for drying ammonia, which it absorbs. Dissolving the solid in water releases noticeable heat, a useful contrast with the cooling seen when ammonium chloride dissolves.
As a calcium-ion source, its solution forms a white calcium carbonate precipitate with sodium carbonate, makes artificial hard water for soap-lather tests and is used in biology practicals such as setting sodium alginate beads for immobilised-enzyme experiments. Because the solid is deliquescent, reseal the container immediately and store it in a dry cupboard with your other lab consumables.
This calcium chloride is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (ScienceLab), which sources reagents together with the drying tubes and desiccators they are used in. Schools, colleges, research labs, dealers and importers in India and international markets can request both on one quotation. Visit the ScienceLab profile for company information.

Can Calcium Chloride 200g be used as a desiccant?
Yes, in its anhydrous form Calcium Chloride 200g is a common laboratory desiccant for drying tubes, absorption towers and desiccators. It is not suitable for drying ammonia or alcohols, which it binds, so choose another drying agent for those.
How much Calcium Chloride is in one pack?
Calcium Chloride 200g SCI-579/145 contains 200 g of analytical reagent grade calcium chloride per pack and is supplied with an MSDS for safe handling and chemical-store records.
What is the shelf life of Calcium Chloride 200g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Calcium Chloride 200g absorbs moisture rapidly, so keep the lid tight and store it dry.
