DOWFLAKE™ Xtra 83-87% Calcium Chloride possesses distinctive properties that make it the ideal choice for ice melting, dust control, concrete acceleration and many other applications. Its higher concentration provides a lower application rate than conventional 77 - 80% calcium chloride flake.
DOWFLAKE™ Xtra releases heat to melt snow and ice faster and across a wider range of temperatures than other materials. Mix it with rock salt, sand and gravel to improve their performance.
It reduces dust on unpaved surfaces by absorbing moisture from its surroundings, keeping the surface damp and binding dust particles to the gravel.
Adding it to concrete results in reduced time for initial and final set, increased early strengh and protection in cold weather.
When put into solution, DOWFLAKE™ Xtra is effective in many other applications, including tire weighting brine refrigeration, and as an inert ingredient is pesticide formulations.
