PELADOW® DG Calcium Chloride Briquettes
Product Description
PELADOW DG Calcium Chloride Briquettes are white almond shaped briquettes that serve as a cost-effective desiccant suitable for dehydration of a broad spectrum of hydrocarbon streams. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided for every product shipment.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store in a dry area, and tightly reseal after each use. To maintain product quality while in storage, solid calcium chloride must be protected from moisture. If the product is on a pallet covered by an intact plastic shroud, it can be stored outdoors on a well-drained surface. If the shroud is torn, pierced, or removed, then the palletized product should be stored indoors or under a waterproof covering.
When properly stored to protect from moisture contact, the expected shelf life for all calcium chloride packaged products is 36 months from the date of manufacture. Calcium chloride does not degrade or deteriorate; however, the shelf life is limited based on the potential for moisture intrusion into the product. Moisture will cause a decrease in overall calcium chloride assay and may cause product clumping. Solid calcium chloride absorbs moisture from the air (i.e., is hygroscopic), even to the point of converting to liquid brine (i.e., is deliquescent).

If lightly caked, the product may be broken up by knocking the closed package against a hard surface, like breaking up a bag of ice. If the caked product is too hard to break apart, the product is, unfortunately, unusable and should be disposed of according to guidance on the product label. DO NOT TRY FORCEFUL HAMMERING TO BREAK THE PRODUCT APART. FLYING PRODUCT PIECES MAY BE AN EYE HAZARD.
