PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Flake magnesium chloride is a chemical substance with a molecular formula of MgCl2.6H2O and a molecular weight of 203.31.

Flake magnesium chloride is a white crystal in the form of white flakes with a bitter taste. The pure product is a colorless monoclinic crystal. Industrial products are often yellow-brown, containing about 40-50% magnesium chloride, as well as impurities such as magnesium sulfate and chloride, and have a bitter taste. It is easily soluble in water and ethanol, and is easily deliquescent when the humidity is high. It decomposes by hot melting at 116-118℃. Mixed with magnesium oxide and water, it becomes magnesium cement: MgCl2〃6H2O+3MgO+4H2O→MgO〃MgCl2〃10H2O.

PRODUCT USES

Flake magnesium chloride is used as a refractory material and an adhesive for furnace wall in the metallurgical industry. It is a raw material for producing No. 2 flux and smelting magnesium metal. In the chemical industry, it is a raw material for producing various magnesium salts. Flake magnesium chloride is a protein coagulant in the food industry and is used to produce soy products. In the construction industry, it is the raw material for producing magnesium cement and is used as an antifreeze agent during winter construction. In agriculture, it can be used to produce cotton defoliants. In addition, it can also be used as a coal mine fire retardant, a highway dust suppressant, and soil stabilization.
