Calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is a highly versatile compound widely used in various industries. In the food industry, it serves as a firming agent, preservative, and flavor enhancer. In industrial applications, it is used for de-icing, dust control, and concrete acceleration. Its hygroscopic nature makes it effective in moisture control and desiccation. Calcium chloride is also employed in medicine and laboratory settings. Known for its high solubility in water, it is available in multiple forms such as flakes, granules, and solutions, making it a valuable chemical for diverse uses.
