What is the difference between 26% calcium chloride and 30%, 35%, 38%?
The percent chloride represents the percent by weight of chlorides in the water solution. Thus, 26% has less chloride than 35% which has less than 38% solutions. The higher concentrations are manufactured through a costly evaporation process. Based on third-party scientific studies, 26% mineral well brine is more cost effective at dust control by a factor of 2 to 4 times compared to higher chloride solutions.
