Storage & Shelf Life
Store in carbon steel tanks with an epoxy-based interior lining and epoxy-based exterior paint. Common stainless steels should not be used for the storage of liquid calcium chloride because they are subject to chloride stress cracking, even at temperatures as low as 100°F (38°C). Nonmetallic materials, such as fiberglass or plastic, may work well for smaller tanks at near ambient temperature. The puncture resistance and structural strength of these materials, relative to carbon steel, should be evaluated.
When properly stored to protect from moisture contact and maintained above crystallization temperature, the expected shelf life for all calcium chloride liquid products is 36 months from the date of manufacture. Calcium chloride does not degrade or deteriorate; however, the shelf life is limited based on the potential for moisture intrusion into the product. Moisture will cause a decrease in overall calcium chloride concentration.
