About Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate
Features and Chemical Properties
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate exhibits a bitter taste, is odorless, and appears as colorless crystals or white flakes. Its melting point is 118C (decomposes), and with strong hygroscopicity, it absorbs moisture readily. The compound is easily soluble in water (167 g/100 ml at 20C), and slightly soluble in alcohol, making it versatile for a range of applications.
Packaging and Storage Guidelines
To maintain its quality, Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is shipped in 25 kg bags, 50 kg drums, or customized packages. For optimal shelf life (minimum 2 years), it should be stored tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture. This handling preserves its stability and reduces the risk of caking due to hygroscopic nature.
Applications and Usage
This compound serves multiple industries, including de-icing for roads, dust control, and fireproofing agents. It's also found in pharmaceuticals, textile processing, and as a source of magnesium in various biochemical preparations. Both industrial, reagent, and premium food grades are available to suit specialized requirements.
FAQ's of Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate:
Q: How is Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate commonly used across industries?
A: Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is used for de-icing, dust control, textile processing, fireproofing, and as a magnesium source in pharmaceuticals and food products. Its versatility stems from its easy solubility in water and non-poisonous nature.Q: What storage conditions are recommended for maintaining product quality?
A: To preserve stability and effectiveness, the compound should be kept in tightly sealed containers within a cool, dry environment away from moisture, as it is strongly hygroscopic and can absorb water from the air.Q: When does Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate typically require replacement or repackaging?
A: If stored according to guidelines, it remains stable for a minimum of two years. Replacement or repackaging may be necessary sooner if exposed to moisture or improperly sealed, leading to caking or reduced purity.Q: Where is Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate manufactured and exported from?
A: This compound is exported, manufactured, supplied, and traded by certified producers in India, meeting global standards for industrial, reagent, and food grade quality.Q: What benefits does using Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate provide in industrial and laboratory processes?
A: Its high purity, neutrality, and excellent solubility enable precision control in laboratory settings, increased efficiency in industrial de-icing, improved dust suppression, and reliable magnesium supplementation in biochemical processes.Q: How does the packaging ensure safe transportation and handling?
A: Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is packed in robust 25 kg bags or 50 kg drums, with customized packaging available, to protect against moisture ingress and facilitate safe handling during transit.
