Chemical Applications and Strengths
Calcium Chloride 94%is an extremely efficient chemical compound and therefore, has many industrial applications. Its main applications and strengths are:
- Calcium Chloride 94% is used in the petroleum industry it is used in oil field drilling and to stabilise mud layer. It is also used as a lubricant to lubricate the drill. It is used in making the hole plug and fixing the oil well too.
- In water treatment Calcium Chloride is very useful because calcium ions precipitate most anions and chloride ions precipitate cations. They can also oxidise ions and this helps purify wastewater.
