Liquid calcium chloride is often used in construction in large quantities, and as such needs to be stored in a safe manner. The preferred material for storing liquid calcium chloride in construction is using large liquid storage tanks that are carbon steel with an epoxy-based interior coating and a durable, high-quality coating on the exterior. Non-metallic materials, such as fibreglass or plastic, work well for smaller tanks storing the product at ambient temperature; however, these materials are not as durable as carbon steel and they lose strength at high temperatures.
Liquid calcium chloride is a highly soluble, hygroscopic solution—which is also exothermic. Liquid calcium chloride has the ability to draw moisture from its surroundings, resist evaporation and release heat. Liquid Calcium Chloride is also the perfect substance for road construction and maintenance—including dust control and base stabilization.
