Calcium Chloride quickly melts snow and ice down to -25 ° C, when sodium chloride (common table salt) is not effective. This is due to some important properties: highly hygroscopic . Calcium chloride is in fact the most hygroscopic road flux: contrary to sodium chloride, which absorbs the humidity present in the air only when the relative humidity is between 100% and 75%, calcium chloride is hygroscopic up to relative humidity of 45%. This makes it suitable for even the driest climates. exothermic . Calcium Chloride develops heat on contact with water, helping to quickly melt ice and snow. 1 kg of calcium chloride dissolved in cold water increases the temperature by about 40 ° C. practically not freezing . Calcium chloride, when dissolving, gives rise to solutions that have a very low freezing point, -51 ° C. For this reason, unlike salt, it is effective up to the most extreme temperatures. HOW TO USE EXOTERM comes in the form of flakes that must be distributed evenly on the area / surface to be treated. 25kg of product are able to melt the ice present on a surface of about 700m 2 . BENEFITS Thanks to its chemical characteristics, EXOTERM is more effective than salt (sodium chloride) for a number of reasons: Azione rapida: contrariamente al sale che una volta disciolto in acqua assorbe calore, EXOTERM reagisce con l’acqua sprigionando rapidamente calore, grazie al quale neve e ghiaccio verranno sciolti. Punto di congelamento molto basso: rispetto al sale che possiede un punto di congelamento pari a -21°C ed un limite d’azione di -3°C, EXOTERM mantiene la sua efficacia fino a -25°C con un punto di congelamento molto più basso, -51°C. Efficienza: a soli 30 minuti dall’applicazione ad una temperatura prossima allo zero, EXOTERM è in grado di sciogliere una quantità di ghiaccio 8 volte superiore rispetto a quella sciolta dal sale. Resa: a parità di quantità applicata, EXOTERM garantisce una copertura della superficie pari ad 1,5 volte quella del sale. Low aggressiveness : compared to salt which over time is very aggressive on the treated surfaces (tiles, stairs, ramps, terraces), EXOTERM is characterized by a low surface aggressiveness.
