Fay Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I purchased a 25kg bag of Calcium Chloride DIHY BP from Med-Chem $181.41 I was told to keep it air tight or it would turn to liquid. Cracker put his in pails but it still turned so after looking at the plastic centre I decided to use #15 Glad Snaplock bags then store them in poly boxes I got with my corals over the years (so I have a few ) anyway it has worked had a look tonight all dry as a bone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Thanks Fay. Actually some of those kind of posts, with just some simple but useful information, are among the most useful posts on the site. People should post more of them.

Ira Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Salt mix does the same. And IIRC those little containers of dehumidifier mix(They've got a hippo or something on the ads) are calcium chloride. Very hydrophilic stuff, I guess.

Yes those chemical dehumidifiers are usually always 100% calcium chloride. The correct term for that property is hygroscopic. (Hydrophilic has to do with H bonding, it's slightly different) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
