CaCl2 fused vs anhydrous
« on: November 06, 2014, 12:17:14 AM »
This is probably sloppy notation on the supplier's part but what's the conventional difference (if any) between "fused" and "anhydrous" Calcium Chloride?

Anhydrous means dry, Fused means melted in my knowledge it contains crystal water.

I too have found this notation very confusing, even the Tech Data Sheets from the manufacturers are not clear on this terminology.
The description / explanation on "fused" is also confusing. Not even one stated ( I assume ) that fused is actually the dihydrate compound ( CaCl2.2H2O )  ???
