Tokuyama Calcium Chloride Food-additives grade

Tokuyama Calcium Chloride Food-additives grade is manufactured as a soda ash co-product and Tokuyama is the sole producer in Japan. Calcium chloride is one type of inorganic salt. It generates a large amount of heat in reaction to water and significantly lowers the freezing point of water, making it effective as a strong and immediate-acting antifreeze as well as a snow and ice melting agent.Calcium Chloride is also used as a food and beverage additive, mainly for controlling the hardness of beer and soft drinks, and in bittern for tofu production.
