CaCl₂ Desiccant & Drying Agent Supplier
CaCl₂ is one of the most effective and economical desiccants there is — it pulls moisture from air and gases and keeps shipping containers, warehouses and industrial processes dry. Chloride.ca supplies desiccant-grade CaCl₂ in bulk and bagged formats to packagers and manufacturers across Canada. The same moisture-absorbing property that makes CaCl₂ a de-icer makes it one of the most economical industrial drying agents available, used everywhere from shipping-container desiccants to compressed-air and natural-gas drying — and the grade and form should follow how much water you need to pull and how the product is contained.
How CaCl₂ dries air and gas
CaCl₂ is strongly hygroscopic — it absorbs many times its weight in water vapour, which is why it is used in container desiccants, moisture absorbers, and the drying of air and process gases. It works passively, needs no power, and is far more economical than specialty desiccants for high-moisture duty.
Forms and supply
We supply anhydrous and high-concentration CaCl₂ flake and pellet for desiccant and drying use, in bagged and bulk quantities with documentation, delivered nationwide on contract pricing.
How chloride desiccants work
CaCl₂ is one of the most strongly hygroscopic common salts — it can absorb several times its own weight in water vapour, deliquescing into a brine as it does. That aggressive moisture pull is exactly what makes it an effective, low-cost desiccant: it dries compressed air and natural gas, protects machinery and goods in shipping containers and warehouses, and removes water from a range of liquids and solids in processing.
Forms and selecting a grade
Desiccant CaCl₂ is supplied as anhydrous flake, pellet and prilled forms, with the higher-concentration anhydrous grades absorbing the most moisture per kilogram. The right choice depends on how much water you need to remove and how the product is contained — a container desiccant has different demands than an industrial gas dryer. We supply desiccant-grade CaCl₂ in bagged and bulk quantities nationwide with documentation, and help match the grade and form to the job, from container desiccants to industrial gas and air drying. Bulk anhydrous flake for high-demand drying or bagged product for point-of-use packets ship nationwide with documentation, so the desiccant matches both the moisture load and how the product is packaged and handled.
