Intralabs Calcium Chloride Dihydrate Flakes are designed for individuals who require a high-purity, food-grade mineral source for culinary applications or aquatic calcium supplementation. This product provides rapid solubility and reliable concentration control for hobbyists and professionals alike, though it requires careful handling due to its hygroscopic nature, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air if not stored properly.

Yes, this is a food-grade compound, but it should only be used as an ingredient following appropriate culinary recipes and safety guidelines.
Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry, room-temperature environment to prevent the flakes from absorbing moisture from the air.
It is primarily intended for marine reef systems. Always test your water parameters before and after dosing to ensure levels remain within your specific tank requirements.
Dihydrate means that each molecule of calcium chloride is bonded with two molecules of water, which is the standard form for effective solubility and stability in this product.
Calcium chloride itself is generally pH neutral, but it may influence water chemistry parameters; monitor your alkalinity and pH when adding any mineral supplements.
This is caused by moisture exposure. While typically still chemically effective if kept clean, use a clean, dry tool to break apart the clumps; ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use to prevent further moisture ingress.
Calcium chloride is exothermic when dissolving. While it dissolves rapidly, increasing water temperature slightly or ensuring constant agitation will accelerate the process.
To ensure the longevity of the flakes, store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed. Because the material is highly hygroscopic, exposure to ambient humidity will cause the flakes to clump together. When using, always handle with clean, dry utensils. The product is compatible with most standard marine reef chemistry protocols, but users should cross-reference compatibility with other supplements to avoid precipitation of minerals.
