Product Note:
USES
- De-icing: Melts ice and snow on roads, sidewalks, and parking lots
- Drying: Absorbs moisture and humidity from the air to prevent corrosion and degradation
- Food additive: Used as a firming agent, stabilizer, and thickener in foods like canned vegetables, pickles, and cheese
- Concrete accelerator: Speeds up the setting and hardening of concrete, especially in cold weather
- Drilling fluid additive: Increases the density and controls the viscosity of drilling fluids
- Plant nutrient: Used to postpone aging, prevent decay, increase firmness, and limit physiological problems in plants and developing fruit
- pH buffer: Used in swimming pool water
- Inhibiting swelling clays: Used in the water phase of invert emulsion drilling fluids
- Increasing brine density: Used in the oil industry to increase the density of solids-free brines
- Flux: Used in the Davy process for the manufacture of sodium
- Additive in plastics, fire extinguishers, and blast furnaces: Used in these products
- Drainage aid: Used in wastewater treatment
