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 ) ???

Indeed. None.
