Description

Ammonium Magnesium Chloride is an inorganic salt compound with the CAS number 12125-06-3. It serves as a versatile source of both magnesium and ammonium ions, making it valuable for applications requiring controlled nutrient release or specific chemical synthesis. This compound is particularly sought after by industries involved in specialty fertilizers, flame retardants, and chemical manufacturing. Its properties are leveraged where a combined magnesium and ammonium chloride functionality is required.

Application

• Specialty Fertilizers and Nutrient Solutions: Used as a source of magnesium and nitrogen in controlled-release or foliar feed formulations for agricultural and horticultural applications.
• Flame Retardant Systems: Acts as a synergistic agent in halogen-based flame retardant formulations for polymers, textiles, and wood products.
• Chemical Synthesis and Catalysis: Employed as a precursor or catalyst in various inorganic and organic synthesis processes.
• Wastewater Treatment: Utilized in precipitation processes for phosphate removal and other water purification applications.
• Ceramics and Glass Manufacturing: Serves as a fluxing agent or a source of magnesium oxide in the production of specialty ceramics and glass.
• Laboratory Reagent: Used in analytical chemistry and research as a standard or reagent for specific test methods.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Magnesium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets defined specifications for purity, identity, and physical properties. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, chloride content, magnesium content, and impurity levels. Our quality commitment ensures consistent performance and reliability for your industrial processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent caking and degradation from atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from incompatible materials.
