Notes

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 

Remarks
