Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- Solid calcium chloride is both hygroscopic and deliquescent.
- This means that the product can absorb moisture from the air, even to the point of converting to liquid brine.
- For this reason, solid calcium chloride should be protected from excessive exposure to moisture to maintain product quality while in storage.
- Store in a dry area. Opened packages should be tightly resealed after each use
