Magnesium Chloride / CAS 7791-18-6

Magnesium Chloride

Molecular formula: MgCl₂·6H₂O

CAS NO：7791-18-6

Customs Code: 28273100

Appearance: white particles, flake

Purpose:

1. Metallurgical Industry:

It is used to make the binder of refractory and furnace arm, and is the raw material for smelting metal magnesium.

2. Chemical industry:

It is mainly used to make various magnesium salts, such as magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate and firecracker fixing agent. It is also used as raw material of antifreeze.

3. Building materials:

It can be made into hard and corrosion-resistant magnesia cement with magnesite (MgO). It can be made into adult marble, magnesite tile, floor, ceiling, decorative board, fireproof board, greenhouse support, partition board, magnesite well cover, bathtub, door and window frame and movable house.

4. Machinery industry:

In daily life, it can be used to make mechanical packing boxes, triangular cushion edges and furniture. It is a good material for "replacing materials with soil".

5. Food industry:

The tofu made with brine (magnesium chloride aqueous solution) is tender and delicious than that made with gypsum. It is also used as an additive in some foods.

6. Transportation industry:

As a road deicing and snowmelting agent, it has fast deicing speed and low corrosivity to vehicles, which is higher than that of sodium chloride.

7. Medicine:

"Brine dried" made of magnesium chloride can be used as medicine.

8. Agriculture:

It can be used as magnesium fertilizer, potassium magnesium fertilizer and cotton defoliation agent.
