Description

Magnesium Perchlorate Hydrate is a powerful inorganic oxidizing agent with the CAS registry number 64010-42-0. This compound is valued in industrial and laboratory settings for its high oxidative capacity and its utility as a potent desiccant. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers and researchers in analytical chemistry, pyrotechnics, and specialty chemical synthesis. Consistent quality and reliable supply are critical for these high-performance applications.

Application

• High-Efficiency Desiccant: Used in specialized drying tubes and apparatus for removing trace moisture from gases, particularly in analytical instruments and controlled atmosphere systems.
• Analytical Chemistry Reagent: Employed as a strong oxidizing agent in specific wet digestion procedures for sample preparation in elemental analysis (e.g., for sulfur, carbon).
• Pyrotechnic Compositions: Serves as an oxygen source and oxidizer in the formulation of high-energy flares, igniters, and specialty fireworks.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a catalyst or co-oxidant in select oxidation reactions for the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Electrolyte Component: Investigated for use in specialized non-aqueous electrochemical cells and battery research due to its perchlorate anion.
• Laboratory Drying Agent: Utilized in desiccators for drying air-sensitive compounds, though handling requires caution due to its oxidative nature.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Perchlorate Hydrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, assay, and moisture content. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results for key parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as combustible organics, reducing agents, and strong acids. Due to its hygroscopic and strongly oxidizing nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and isolated from potential fuel sources. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
