Tire Weighting
Calcium chloride solutions are used in tractor and other off-road tires to provide ballast, improve traction, and reduce wear and tear on tires and machinery. These solutions can add about 30% to the weight of water and lower the freeze point.
Where To Use
Calcium chloride solutions are used in tractor and other off-road tires, as calcium chloride can add about 30% to the weight of water and lower the solution’s freeze point to well below 32°F (0°C). Calcium chloride solutions provide ballast, improve traction, and reduce wear and tear on tires and machinery. They can also create a smoother ride by lowering the center of gravity for less slippage on turns and reduce the impacts of bumps and cuts by slowing the diffusion of air within the tire.
