New high in calcium chloride purity…CALTAC
Calcium Chloride
(Anhydrous FCC)
A real breakthrough in food ingredient quality, CalTAC Calcium Chloride is designed to meet increasingly stringent purity standards never before attained in food-grade calcium chloride.
CalTAC not only meets all Food Chemicals Codex requirements for assay and impurity limits, but also particulate matter is well below maximum allowances specified by the General Provisions of the FCC:
General Provisions of FCC (3rd Ed.)
“Soluble substances, when brought into solution, may show slight physical impurities, such as fragments of filter paper, fibers, and dust particles, unless excluded by definite tests or other requirements; however, significant amounts of black specks, metallic chips, glass fragments, or other insoluble matter are not permitted.”
Filter discs obtained in standard tests of CalTAC and competitive samples (CaCl2-A and CaCl2-B) demonstrate the significant superiority of CalTAC purity.
What’s more, solubility and handling are significantly improved. Controlled particle size—smaller and more uniform—lets CalTAC dissolve faster and more completely, even in higher than normal concentrations. Fines are virtually eliminated, along with dusting, caking, bridging and flowability problems. And there’s less waste and cleanup.
Higher purity for your product and improvements in your processing…that’s what CalTAC can do for your food or beverage!

Test Procedure: Dissolve 100 gm of CaCl2 in 1 liter of deionized water. Add 1-2 mis of 36% acetic acid until the solution clears. Filter immediately through a Johnson & Johnson Lintine Disc.
The selling point of CalTAC is that it is even purer than the food-grade calcium chloride in the market. This is reinforced by an image that visually depicts how much purer CalTAC is compared to other calcium chlorides. It is not often that company ads depict a visual image like this (especially one of scientific testing) to back their purity claims, making this ad unique.
A major theme in this ad is perfection (i.e., getting rid of unwanted and necessary items to make the ultimate product).
