Magnesium Chloride Flakes

Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate (MgCl2.6H2O) Flakes is a highly water-soluble, white crystalline inorganic salt, primarily used in industrial applications such as de-icing, dust control and the production of magnesia cement. It is also employed as a chemical reagent, in textile manufacturing and as a phase change material for thermal energy storage.

Applications of Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate (MgCl2.6H2O):

Magnesium Chloride is widely used in:

• De-icing and Winter Maintenance: As a premier, less-corrosive alternative to rock salt, it efficiently melts ice on roads and sidewalks, effective at lower temperatures than conventional salts.

• Dust Control and Road Stabilization: It is owing to its ability to absorb moisture from the air (hygroscopic), it is extensively used to control dust on unpaved roads, in mining and for stabilizing soil in construction sites.

• Construction and Industrial Materials:

• Sorel Cement: It Mixed with magnesium oxide to form magnesium oxychloride cement, used in flooring and abrasive products.

• Concrete Accelerator: It is used as an additive to speed up the curing of concrete, especially in cold weather.

• Food Industry (E511): It acts as a coagulant for soy milk in tofu production, a firming agent, and a stabilizer in canned vegetables.

• Agriculture and Animal Care:

• Feed Additive: It is used as a nutritional supplement to provide magnesium for livestock.

• Fertilizers: It provides magnesium, a essential nutrient for plant growth.

• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing:

• It serves as a raw material for producing other magnesium compounds, including magnesium oxide and magnesium metal.

• It is used in pharmaceuticals and skin care products, particularly as a nutritional magnesium supplement.

• Other Applications:

• Fireproofing: It is used as a fire retardant in coal mines.

• Textiles/Paper: It is used in the treatment and finishing of textiles and in paper production.

• Water Treatment: It acts as a flocculant to remove impurities.
