Product Code : SCL-LC-12190
Calcium Chloride Fussed (CaCl2) (SKU SCL-LC-12190), correctly called fused calcium chloride, is a solid, low-moisture form of calcium chloride used in laboratories as a drying agent and as an inorganic calcium salt. Schools with supervised labs, colleges and analytical laboratories fill desiccators and drying tubes with it and prepare calcium chloride solutions from it. Science Lab Supplies delivers it from Ambala, India to institutions, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Fused calcium chloride is a white or colourless solid, CaCl2, that is strongly hygroscopic and releases heat when it dissolves in water. It may come as fused lumps, granules or powder; the label and quotation for your batch state the physical form, grade and pack size.

Applications and Experiments for Fused Calcium Chloride
Its strong pull on water vapour makes fused calcium chloride a standard laboratory desiccant, while its solutions supply calcium and chloride ions for analysis. Teachers also use it to show two properties at once: a solid that absorbs moisture from air and dissolves with noticeable warming.
- Charging desiccators and drying tubes in school and college chemistry labs where this drying agent is approved.
- Class 9–11 lessons on hygroscopic substances and exothermic dissolution.
- CBSE Class 12 salt analysis and B.Sc. practicals involving Ca2+ and chloride ions.
Standard Scope of Supply
A closed container of fused calcium chloride labelled with batch, grade and hazard details makes up each unit, with the current Safety Data Sheet and tamper-sealed outer packaging carrying the export documents. Desiccators and drying tubes are laboratory apparatus and are quoted on request.
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
We quote from one container up to a stockroom supply, and the quotation spells out packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Moisture-indicator salts and other laboratory chemicals can join the same quotation, so a drying-agent refill can be ordered with the term's reagents.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code, which means it can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Ask a question on the contact page, shortlist items in the enquiry cart, or follow the lab tender page for tender procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is fused calcium chloride hygroscopic?
Yes, strongly. It absorbs moisture from the air, which is why it works as a desiccant and why the container must be closed immediately after use and kept in a dry place.
Why does the solution get hot when it is made up?
Calcium chloride releases heat as it dissolves. Add the solid slowly to water, stir gently, avoid splashing and wear eye protection, because the salt can irritate or damage eyes and skin.
Who supplies the Calcium Chloride Fussed (CaCl2)?
Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India. Schools, colleges and distributors receive direct quotations and the Safety Data Sheet with each batch.
Can it be used for food or de-icing?
No. This is a laboratory chemical, supplied for drying, desiccation, solution preparation and salt studies, not for food, medical, agricultural or de-icing purposes.
Related Drying Agents and Calcium Salts
A drying and hygroscopy lesson compares more than one drying agent and shows moisture with an indicator salt, while salt analysis adds other calcium and chloride compounds. These four chemicals from the Lab Chemicals range fit both uses and can be quoted with it.
- Calcium Sulphate Anhydrous — sulphate salt used in drying-agent demonstrations.
- Cobalt Chloride — cobalt(II) chloride for moisture-indicator demonstrations.
- Magnesium Chloride Crystal — magnesium chloride, MgCl2, in crystal form.
- Calcium Hydroxide — alkaline calcium reagent for limewater preparation.
