The core material of calcium chloride desiccant—calcium chloride—can be produced through various methods. Chemically, it can be synthesized by reacting high-quality calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid (CaCO? + 2HCl → CaCl? + H?O + CO?↑). However, to maximize both environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness, the industry widely adopts a green circular approach: recycling and refining the by-product waste liquid generated during the soda ash production (Solvay process). Through purification, evaporation, and drying, this method not only ensures high-purity output but also turns waste into valuable resources, embedding eco-friendly principles into the product from the very beginning.
Our calcium chloride desiccant is a highly effective moisture-absorbing product made from a scientific blend of high-purity calcium chloride and natural plant-based starch. It works through strong chemical absorption, actively capturing moisture within enclosed spaces—such as plastic bags, cartons, and shipping containers—to significantly reduce ambient humidity. The absorbed moisture is rapidly converted into a stable gel and securely locked within the durable packaging, eliminating any risk of liquid leakage and preventing re-evaporation. This provides safe, clean, and reliable protection for your goods against dampness.
Thanks to its high efficiency, stability, and environmentally conscious design, our calcium chloride desiccant has become a leading choice for moisture prevention in sectors such as logistics, transportation, and industrial storage.
What are the benefits of calcium chloride desiccant?
There is no single “best” desiccant—each type has its own strengths, limitations, and ideal applications. Compared to traditional clay and silica gel desiccants, calcium chloride offers a higher moisture absorption rate and a broader effective temperature range. This makes it especially suitable for demanding environments with high humidity levels or harsh conditions.
Common use cases include:
- Preventing “container rain” in maritime shipping
- Providing long-term moisture protection in large storage facilities
- Controlling dampness in homes and living spaces
Thanks to its high-capacity, sustained moisture absorption, calcium chloride delivers stronger and more reliable protection.
Together with silica gel’s stable, non-corrosive properties for sensitive electronics and food-safe applications, as well as clay desiccants’ cost-effective and eco-friendly performance, calcium chloride forms part of a complementary moisture control system. This diversified range of solutions meets the varied needs of different industries and scenarios.
- Calcium Chloride Anhydrous Desiccant: Moisture Absorption Rate: ≥300%, Temperature Range: -5°C to 90°C.?
- Clay & Calcium Chloride Blend Desiccant: Moisture Absorption Rate: ≤85%, Temperature Range: <50°C.
- Clay Desiccant / Silica Gel Desiccant: Moisture Absorption Rate: ≤30%, Temperature Range: <50°C (Clay), <37°C (Silica Gel).
Calcium chloride desiccant is primarily composed of calcium chloride and plant-based starch in a specific ratio. It functions through the strong hygroscopic property of calcium chloride, which absorbs moisture from the air. The absorbed water then combines with the starch to form a gel-like substance, effectively preventing liquid leakage and ensuring safe, reliable moisture control.
Before Absorption
Absorbing Moisture
After Absorption
The high hygroscopicity of calcium chloride means it can absorb large amounts of moisture. Our calcium chloride desiccants use a double-layer packaging design to prevent leakage: an outer layer of coated non-woven fabric, and an inner layer made of transparent film and non-woven material.
