Calcium Chloride Series Brines

Calcium chloride-based heat transfer fluids

Process Applications
• Refrigeration systems and process cooling • Ice & snow melting systems
• Ground freezing • Dust control

Calcium Chloride Brine Series Overview

Calcium Chloride brine solutions are comprised of raw, food grade, and inhibited calcium chloride. Inhibited Calcium Chloride brines
are blended with specially formulated additive packages depending on your system specifications.
The Calcium Chloride heat transfer fluid provides users with a stable, safe, and efficient product for applications where freeze
protection is needed.
Properly used and maintained, Calcium Chloride solutions provide excellent thermophysical properties. Each individual Calcium
Chloride brine has its own advantages, and custom blends can be readily made to meet your system’s requirements.

Product Description Temperature Range

Raw Calcium Chloride Uninhibited calcium chloride solution -40°F to 212°F / -40°C to 100°C

Food-Grade Calcium Chloride Food grade calcium chloride solution (inhibited or uninhibited) -40°F to 212°F / -40°C to 100°C
Inhibited Calcium Chloride Inhibited calcium chloride solution -40°F to 212°F / -40°C to 100°C

Corrosion Protection Freezing Points of Calcium Chloride Brines:

Dynalene can provide corrosion inhibitor packages for Calcium wt% CaCl2 Freezing Point
Chloride brines that reduces the corrosion rate. However, 10 -7°C (20°F)
corrosion inhibitors do not completely prevent metal corrosion in
calcium chloride brines. 20 -20°C (-4°F)
25 -32°C (-25°F)
Price, Quantity, & Availability 26 -35°C (-31°F)
Calcium Chloride brines are offered in 1, 2.5, 5, 30, 55, and 265 27 -39°C (-38°F)
gallon containers as well as 5,000 gallon tankers. Pricing 28 -43°C (-46°F)
