Composition and drying principle of calcium chloride desiccant
15 Jul,2024
Its main raw material is calcium chloride, which can chemically react water molecules with calcium chloride to absorb moisture from the surrounding environment and convert it into gel to achieve adsorption effect. The internal substance of calcium chloride desiccant is powder. If a child tears the package of calcium chloride desiccant, the calcium chloride powder inside is easy to enter the eyes, which will cause symptoms such as eyelid redness and swelling, white burns on cornea and conjunctiva. In mild cases, corneal leukoplakia will be caused after treatment, affecting vision, and in severe cases, blindness will be caused. At the same time, although calcium chloride can be used as food additives, calcium chloride desiccant is not edible. The packaging materials of calcium chloride desiccant are generally fixed. The inner layer is PET film + unidirectional breathable cloth or unidirectional breathable DuPont paper, and the outer layer is unidirectional breathable cloth, which can well prevent the leakage of calcium chloride desiccant. Calcium chloride desiccant becomes water after absorbing moisture. In fact, it is not pure water, but calcium chloride aqueous solution. If nothing else is added, it will flow out. Therefore, calcium chloride desiccant needs to add starch, so calcium chloride desiccant will turn into yellow condensate after moisture absorption.
