Description

Magnesium Chloride CAS NO 14989-29-8 is an essential inorganic salt widely recognized for its versatile chemical and physical properties. This compound is critical for industrial and commercial processes that require a reliable source of magnesium ions or chloride anions. It serves as a fundamental raw material for industries including chemical manufacturing, food processing, and environmental management.

Application

• Dust Control and Road Stabilization: As a highly effective hygroscopic agent, it is used to suppress dust on unpaved roads and stabilize soil.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor and catalyst in the production of various magnesium compounds and other chemicals.
• Food Additive: Used as a firming agent, flavor enhancer, and a source of dietary magnesium in food products (E511).
• Water Treatment: Employed in wastewater treatment and as a coagulation aid.
• De-icing Agent: An alternative to rock salt for melting ice on roads and walkways, with a lower effective temperature.
• Nutritional Supplements & Pharmaceuticals: Serves as a magnesium source in mineral supplements and certain pharmaceutical formulations.
• Textile & Paper Manufacturing: Used in fabric processing and as a component in paper production.
• Construction: An additive in cement and concrete mixtures to accelerate setting and improve performance.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Chloride is produced under a stringent quality management system. We offer various grades, including Industrial, Food (FCC), and Technical, each meeting specific purity and safety requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or solution formation.
