Dihydrate Calcium Chloride

Food Grade Calcium Chloride Dihydrate Flake

  • Molecular Formula:CaCl₂・2H₂O
  • Appearance: Pure white thin flaky crystals with uniform color and no impurities
  • Specification: Food grade dihydrate calcium chloride, main content ≥74%, contains crystal water with moderate hygroscopicity
  • Water Solubility: Dissolves steadily in water with mild heat release, the aqueous solution is clear and transparent. Indicators such as arsenic, heavy metals and fluorine meet national standards for food additives
  • MOQ: 1 Ton

    Product Advantages

    Produced in accordance with food additive standards, with extremely low limits for heavy metals and toxic impurities, safe for direct contact with food raw materials
    Moderate hardness flakes generate little dust during loading and feeding; less dust pollution in workshops compared with powder type
    Contains crystal water with mild heat release during dissolution, no local high-temperature splashing when preparing food solutions for safer operation
    Good fluidity of flakes, no blockage during manual or pipeline feeding, evenly dispersed without agglomeration after stirring
    Better storage stability than anhydrous calcium chloride, slower deliquescence under the same moisture-proof conditions and lower storage cost

    Main Industrial Applications

    Crispness Protector for Canned Fruits & Vegetables
    Used in processing canned peaches, asparagus, peas, lychees, etc., to maintain the crisp texture of fruits and vegetables and prevent softening after high-temperature sterilization without altering the original flavor.
    Coagulant for Tofu, Konjac & Jellyfish
    Shaping coagulant for soybean pudding, firm tofu, konjac jelly and jellyfish, with controllable coagulation speed to make crisp, tender and elastic finished products.
    Calcium Fortifier for Juice & Dairy Products
    Calcium supplement for beverages, yogurt and functional drinks; the solution stays clear without sediment or stratification after dissolution.
    Fermentation Aid for Beer & Brewing
    Adjust calcium ion concentration of wort to stabilize yeast fermentation environment, improve liquor clarity and optimize beer taste and color.
    Fresh-Keeping Agent for Fruits & Vegetables
    Soak or spray fruits and vegetables for preservation, strengthen cell walls and lock moisture to delay browning and shriveling, extend fresh food shelf life.

    Comparison

    74% content with crystal water, mild heat release and lower price, suitable for regular food mixing and canned food processing; weak hygroscopicity, not applicable for high-efficiency food desiccants.

    94% high purity without crystal water, ultra-strong hygroscopicity with higher price, mostly used for food desiccants and processes requiring high-concentration calcium solution.

    Low dust, good fluidity and anti-caking performance, suitable for bulk manual feeding; dissolves slightly slower than powder.

    Faster dissolution speed for small-batch rapid mixing; generates heavy dust that is hard to clean in workshops.

    Storage & Transportation Notes

    1. Hygroscopic, packed in woven bags lined with food-grade composite inner film, store in dedicated cool and dry food warehouse;
    2. Strictly prohibit mixed storage with industrial chemicals, toxic or odorous materials to avoid cross-contamination;
    3. Finish consumption as soon as possible after opening, seal tightly after each use to reduce air contact and prevent moisture softening.
