Calcium chloride (CaCl 2) is the most efficient and least expensive accelerator [4] and was formerly very popular. However, chloride anions are very corrosive for the steel of the reinforcement bars (rebars) so its use is no longer recommended [ 5 ] and in many countries actually prohibited.

Calcium magnesium acetate (CMA, with chemical formula C 12 H 18 CaMg 2 O 12 [1]) is a deicer and can be used as an alternative to road salt.It is approximately as corrosive as normal tap water, and in varying concentrations can be effective in stopping road ice from forming down to around −27.5 °C (−17.5 °F) (its eutectic temperature [2]).
It includes both mechanical means, such as plowing, vacuuming or scraping, and chemical means, such as application of salt or other ice-melting chemicals. Anti-icing is treatment with ice-melting chemicals before or during the onset of a storm in order to prevent or delay the formation and adhesion of ice and snow to the surface.
Calcium chloride was apparently discovered in the 15th century but wasn't studied properly until the 18th century. [11] It was historically called "fixed sal ammoniac" (Latin: sal ammoniacum fixum [12]) because it was synthesized during the distillation of ammonium chloride with lime and was nonvolatile (while the former appeared to sublime); in more modern times (18th-19th cc.) it was called ...
Chlorides, particularly calcium chloride, have been used to shorten the setting time of concrete. [5] However, calcium chloride and (to a lesser extent) sodium chloride have been shown to leach calcium hydroxide and cause chemical changes in Portland cement, leading to loss of strength, [6] as well as attacking the steel reinforcement present ...

As calcium chloride is a soluble salt, the reaction cannot occur and the chemical equilibrium regresses to the left side of the reaction. So, a question arises: can NaCl or KCl from deicing salts still possibly play a role in the alkali-silica reaction? Na + and K + cations in themselves cannot attack silica (the culprit is their counter ion OH −
