Magnesium chloride: Magnesium chloride usually contains six molecules of crystalline water, namely MgCl2·6H2O, which is easily deliquescent. It has a bitter taste and is corrosive. Magnesium chloride is a chloride with the chemical formula MgCl2. Colorless and easily deliquescent crystals. Magnesium chloride is a typical ionic halide that is easily soluble in water. Hydrated Magnesium chloride can be extracted from salt water or seawater. Usually with 6 molecules of crystalline water. However, when heated to 95°C, the crystal water is lost. At temperatures above 135°C, it begins to decompose and releases hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas. Raw material for the industrial production of magnesium. Found in seawater and salt brine. Hydrated Magnesium chloride is a substance commonly used in prescription oral magnesium supplements.

Uses of Industrial-grade Magnesium chloride

(1) It is used in the production of magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium metal, liquid chlorine and high-purity magnesia and other products.

(2) It is used to manufacture refractory materials and adhesives for furnace arms, and is a raw material for the manufacture of No. 2 solvent and smelting magnesium metal.

(3) It is used as a road ice melting Snow-dissolved agent, which has a fast ice melting speed, little corrosiveness to vehicles and little damage to soil. In its liquid form, it can be used as a road freeze protection measure. It is often sprayed on the road surface before the winter rains to prevent the road from icing. Therefore, it can prevent the vehicle from skidding and ensure traffic safety.

(4) In the building materials industry, it is an important raw material for the production of light building materials such as glass fiber tiles, decorative boards, sanitary ware, ceilings, floor tiles, magnesia cement cement, ventilation pipes, anti-theft manhole covers, fireproof doors and windows, fireproof boards, partition boards, artificial marble and other high-rise building supplies. In magnesite products, high-quality magnesium tiles, high-quality fireproof boards, magnesium packaging boxes, magnesium decoration boards, lightweight wallboards, molds, stoves, fireworks solid primers, etc.

(5) Dust control can absorb moisture in the air, so it can be used in dusty places to press the dust to the ground and prevent small dust particles from spreading in the air. It is often used in excavation sites, indoor sports venues, horse farms, etc.

(8) Magnesium chloride is used as a viscosity control agent in cosmetics and skin care products.

(9) It can be used as magnesium fertilizer, potassium magnesium fertilizer and cotton defoliant.

(10) Softeners and fixing agents in detergents.
