Calcium chloride 34% is a solution of the inorganic chemical compound CaCl₂, of high purity. The product is manufactured from food-grade hydrochloric acid and high-purity limestone, ensuring minimal content of impurities, including alkali metals, iron, and other trace elements. The raw material is characterized by high chemical and microbiological stability as well as full miscibility with water and other process liquids, allowing easy and uniform dosing in technological processes.
The product complies with legal requirements for food additives (E509) and can be used in the food industry.
MARKET
Calcium chloride has a wide range of applications across various industrial sectors. Its main producers are countries with a well-developed chemical industry and easy access to limestone resources. The global leaders in the calcium chloride market are China, the United States, and the European Union countries. India and Canada also play an important role. In Europe, the largest producers and exporters of calcium chloride solutions are Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland. Norway is also significant, where calcium chloride is obtained as a by-product of the petrochemical industry.
In Poland, food-grade aqueous calcium chloride solution is widely used in the food industry – particularly in brewing, fruit and vegetable processing, as well as in the production of cheese and beverages.
APPLICATIONS
The 34% calcium chloride solution offered by our company complies with the legal requirements for food additives (E509) and is intended for use in the food industry, especially in cheese production technology.
In cheese-making, calcium chloride acts as a processing aid, improving casein coagulation and increasing curd yield. Due to its good solubility and stability, the product is easy to dose and distributes evenly in milk, supporting the cheese-making process.
In addition to cheese production, it can also be used in fruit and vegetable processing, isotonic beverages, brewing, and winemaking. Its role is to improve product quality, ensure shelf life, and support large-scale technological processes.
Thanks to its high purity and safety, calcium chloride is also used outside the food sector – in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and for the mineralization of bottled water.
