Available Packaging
Calcium Chloride (CaCl2, CAS 10043-52-4) is a highly soluble inorganic salt known for its extreme hygroscopic properties, exothermic dissolution in water, and effective ionic strength modification.
In East Africa, Calcium Chloride is heavily utilized in municipal and industrial water treatment to increase water hardness, in civil engineering for dust suppression and rapid concrete setting, and in food processing for firming canned produce and brewing water adjustment.
Kiki's Industrial Chemicals Ltd supplies prime Calcium Chloride 77% Flakes and 94% Powder in heavy-duty 25kg bags, providing consistent quality for construction firms, water boards, and food manufacturers.
When dissolved in water, Calcium Chloride releases calcium ions (Ca²⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻) in a strongly exothermic reaction. Its hygroscopic nature enables it to absorb ambient moisture from air, making it an exceptional dust palliative on gravel roads.
In concrete work, Calcium Chloride accelerates the hydration rate of tricalcium silicate (C3S), drastically reducing initial and final set times in cold ambient temperatures.

Store in original sealed 25kg moisture-proof polypropylene bags in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse.
Because Calcium Chloride rapidly absorbs atmospheric moisture and deliquesces into a liquid brine, keep bags off bare concrete floors on wooden pallets and keep partially used bags tightly closed.
Calcium Chloride causes mild to moderate eye and skin irritation. Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, and a dust mask when opening bags.
Dissolving solid Calcium Chloride generates substantial heat; always add salt slowly to cool water under agitation.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Eye contact: Flush immediately with water for 15 mins. Skin: Wash thoroughly with water.
